Mental Health, Environment and the Climate Crisis

Using our expertise in advocacy, communications and convening we will ensure that climate change, the environment and mental health are put on the agenda for action by governments and decision-makers, and integrated into relevant national and global policies and financing mechanisms. - Building the Field We will actively contribute to the Connecting Climate Minds project (our CEO is on the advisory board) and work with CCM and Wellcome to build networks of stakeholders, particularly CSOs and People With Lived Experience (PWLE) from LMICs, who are focused on addressing the mental health impacts of environment and climate change. - Advocating for Change Working in coalition with partners, including the Climate and Health Alliance, CCM and Wellcome, we will advocate for the integration of mental health in health and climate related policy making.

Our focus areas will be the COP, UN and WHO decision making processes and national policy making in a set of priority countries.

We will develop advocacy briefs for use by CSOs, international organisations and governments to make the case for change for integrating mental health into government and international agencies’ environment and climate change plans and in relevant inter-governmental negotiations.
