This work-in-progress paper analyses how immersive technologies can contribute to overcoming psychological barriers which impede behavioural changes that are needed in response to Climate Change. Although Climate Change poses immediate and long-term challenges to many aspects of our lives, these are often perceived as psychologically distant because they are communicated in abstract ways, which inhibits pro-environmental behaviour. Virtual Reality (VR) has the potential to address this psychological barrier by enabling people to directly experience the impacts of global warming and visualise them in concrete ways, which in turn can induce ecological behaviour.
