About Environmental and Sustainability Psychology at ZHAW
In the field of environmental and sustainability psychology, students at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences examine how people interact with nature, what drives sustainable behaviour, and how these insights can be applied in real-world contexts. This project is part of a course focusing on how outdoor activities can influence wellbeing, motivation, and engagement with the natural environment.
