The climate crisis is also a crisis of mental health. Climate change is impacting mental health, but while the climate and mental health movements are increasingly gaining attention, only few actors are addressing them as interlinked crises. Over the past few months, our Hub Community on Global Mental Health has contributed knowledge and expertise to the dialogue on the impact and consequences of climate change for mental health.

Our guest for next week’s meeting, Jessica Newberry Le Vay, is a Climate Change and Health Policy Fellow at the Climate Cares Centre, Imperial College London. Her work in policy, education and research focuses on the links between climate change and mental health.

On Wednesday, April 17th, at 5:00 p.m., we will meet to will talk about the publication of our policy brief on Planetary Mental Health, learn more about the work of the Climate Cares Centre and explore opportunities for future collaboration. We look forward to insightful discussions and welcome members of all Hub Communities to join us for this exciting event.
