Protecting Mental Health in a Climate Crisis
August 4, 2025/inClimate & Sustainability, Climate and the Future of Health, Conferences, Health & Wellbeing, Past Events
The mental health impacts of climate change are vast but often overlooked. Alongside the physical risks – wildfires, hurricanes, rising sea levels, and extreme heat – communities on the frontlines face deep emotional and psychological strain, and younger generations grapple with eco-anxiety and feelings of helplessness about the future.
This session will cover:
The scale and nature of climate-related mental health impacts How healthcare support structures and policy interventions can help Community-based innovations Developing trauma-informed care Nature-based therapies The disproportionate effects of mental health on the global south and small island states Followed by a short presentation from our partners at Global Witness.
