Augustin Martinez

Motto:Ignorance is bliss.
Augustin Martinez, Ph.D., is a retired associate professor from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. He earned his doctoral degree in environmental science from the University of California, Berkeley. Specializing in urban sustainability and renewable energy adaptation, Augustin integrates insights from environmental psychology to explore how communities can better engage with green technologies and sustainable practices. His latest book, "Sustainable Cities: A Guide for Community Leaders," offers practical strategies for fostering environmentally friendly initiatives within urban settings. Currently, he is dedicating his time to writing another book titled "The Future of Renewable Energy: Psychological and Social Perspectives," which will be released by Oxford University Press this coming spring of 2025.
From his office overlooking the bustling streets of Albuquerque, Augustin has been an influential figure in promoting sustainable living. His work not only focuses on the technological aspects of renewable energy but also delves into the psychological factors that influence public acceptance and adoption of these vital changes. Through workshops and seminars held across various neighborhoods in Albuquerque, he encourages residents to rethink their relationship with the environment and embrace a more sustainable lifestyle. With his engaging speaking style and profound understanding of both human behavior and environmental science, Augustin continues to inspire a new generation of thinkers and doers who are passionate about creating a greener future.
