Climate Change and Mental Health Challenges
Climate change and mental health are two of the greatest global challenges we face.
The emerging, responsive space exploring these connected crises is currently siloed, unjust, and disconnected. Radical connection in this field is needed.
How do we envision shifting mental health and climate change research?
This new and inspiring project will bring together people from around the world to align research and action at the intersection of climate change and mental health. Our ambitious plan is to cultivate a connected, supported, and engaged community of practice on a global scale to create an actionable research agenda.
Our Commitments
We will develop a global research agenda
Creating a comprehensive framework for research priorities that address the intersection of climate change and mental health on a global scale.
Our work will be grounded in the needs of people with lived experience
Ensuring that mental health challenges in the context of climate change are addressed through authentic, community-driven approaches.
We will deliver a series of regional and global dialogues
Facilitating meaningful conversations and knowledge exchange across different regions and communities worldwide.
We will share our work and gather resources on an online platform
Creating a centralized digital space for sharing knowledge, resources, and fostering collaboration in climate change and mental health research.
