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.

The Global Urban Health Community is organizing a lecture series on "City Diagnoses" to operationalize the previously published policy brief of urban health. Each week an expert from academia or practice is presenting their work on integrated assessments of urban health, as well as the challenges and opportunities arising.    

Global urbanization is an ongoing megatrend. Cities are places that offer both opportunities and challenges for human health, and their dynamic development makes them “spaces of opportunity” for different futures. “City diagnoses” are intended as a tool to help identity a city’s health opportunities and challenges, develop a shared vision of the future for the local context, and create the basis for health-promoting action for a healthy future of cities. Together with interested parties and invited practitioners, the Global Urban Health Community Lecture Series will explore the concept of “city diagnoses” from different perspectives.

In today's lecture Christina Plantz from BZgA (Bundeszentral für gesundheitliche Aufklärung) will be presenting the StadtRaumMonitor tool as a participatory tool for health promotion. The lecture will be in German
