The Self-Imposed Atrocity of Climate Change: The Human Factor

The Self-Imposed Atrocity of Climate Change: The Human Factor

Partners in Confronting Collective Atrocities invites you to participate in this 2024 Experiential Conference. 

2 — 6 September 2024, online

If there’s no one around in the forest to hear it, does it make a sound?


It seems that the tree of climate change has fallen in the forest, and its sound was clearly heard, but unconscious and systemic processes still prevent us from really listening and acknowledging the threat and its fatal consequences.


In March 2023 the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change published a harsh evidence-based report that accused humans of causing global warming and warned that its consequences threaten them and the planet unless a rapidly closing window of opportunity to secure sustainability is taken.

Although human beings play a key factor in the climate change drama, their voices are rarely heard. They remain silent and helpless in their role of prevention.

The history of wars and atrocities teaches us that where people remain bystanders, they are doomed. Given this contemporary issue, this is the self-imposed atrocity of climate change.



PCCA – Partners in Confronting Collective Atrocities is an organisation that works towards developing strategies to engage with the legacy of past and present atrocities so as to open up possibilities for a more hopeful future.



If you are:

Concerned about global warming and the climate crisis,

Wondering why most people are passive as bystanders in our self-fulfilling prophecy of climate destruction,

Curious and excited about exploring the psychological processes and group relations dynamics that are inherent in this process...

then you should participate in this PCCA experiential conference on climate change!
