09 - 13 JULY
ECOPSYCHOLOGY AND THE CLIMATE CRISIS
Restoring Relations with the Planet
The Congress
In 2025, Brazil will host two major environmental events. The 30th UN Conference on Climate Change (COP30) will take place in November in Belém do Pará and the 10th International Congress of Ecopsychology in July in Brasilia.
The 10th International Congress of Ecopsychology is promoted by the International Ecopsychology Society (IES) in partnership with the Brazilian Institute of Ecopsychology (IBE). Its aim is to address the Climate Crisis from an ecopsychological perspective, looking at ways of restoring relationships with the planet.
Schedule
During the Congress we will participate in conferences and workshops that will be given and conducted by professionals from different countries, in order to share and disseminate theoretical and practical knowledge of what has been achieved in the area of Ecopsychology around the world.
Our guiding principle is the recognition of our role in the Web of Life and the transition to an eco-centric culture.
We will open a space for ecopsychology professionals and ecotuners to present their work. If you want to lead a workshop, present a work, or gift us with an artistic expression, send us your proposal and it will be evaluated by our team.

We take into account the well-being of those involved and the planet. Thus, we recognize the need to minimize the environmental impacts of a meeting with so many people.
-
We consider it essential that the meeting place is in line with our values.
-
We want to establish coherence between our ideals and actions to care for the planet.
Ecopsychology and
Congresses
Ecopsychology is an area of study and practice that aims to understand the phenomenon of disconnection between human beings and the natural world.
Our Intentions
We want to reestablish the bond of reciprocity with the Earth, strengthen and expand the ecopsychological community.
Our Time
On a global level, we have experienced several crises that have the same root: the culture of disconnection with the Earth.
In Tune
In 2025, Brazil will also receive the 30th UN Conference on Climate Change (COP30) and Ecopsychology can be a great ally.
Our Symbol
The Chuveirinho is an ancient plant native to the Cerrado. It reminds us of the primordial connection with the planet and evokes the image of water on a dry land.
The Cerrado
Cerrado is home to a large part of Brazil's underground rivers. Its preservation is essential for water balance.
