SUMMARY:The links between climate change and mental health: What do we know
  and what needs to be done about it?
DESCRIPTION:\n\nClimate change impacts not only physical health but also me
 ntal health. \n\n\nThis session will summarise: \n\n\n\n\nthe evidence b
 ase for how climate change and mental health are deeply connected\; \n\n\
 nhow researchers across Imperial are coming together through the Climate C
 ares Centre to unpack how people are feeling and support solutions that be
 nefit the climate and mental health together\; \n\n\nhow we can all take 
 mentally and emotionally sustainable action\, together\, towards a future 
 that centres wellbeing. \n\n\n\n\nAttendees of this session will have the
  opportunity to discuss their own experience of climate related concerns a
 nd the coping mechanisms they have used. \n\n\nJoin us on 29 February a
 t 12pm\n\nat the Grantham Institute Boardroom\, South Kensington (see Gran

 ental-health-what-do-we-know-and-what-needs-to-be-done-about-it)\n\nThis e
 vent is part of Sustainability Fortnight\, where you will hear from ou
 r Climate Cares panellists and to discuss the mental health impacts of 
 the climate crisis and the solutions that can create a world better for o
 ur climate and our minds. \n\nWhat do we already know?  \n\n\nPeople li
 ving with mental health conditions\, such as schizophrenia and depression\
 , are around three times more likely to die during a heatwave\, while some
  communities are experiencing continuous grief and increased risk of condi
 tions such as post-traumatic stress disorder due to extreme weather events
 .  \n\n\nWithout support\, increasing mental health challenges can limit
  the capacity of individuals and communities to take required climate adap
 tation and mitigation actions. While the climate crisis is a risk multipli
 er for mental health\, conversely climate action is an opportunity to crea
 te a world that better supports good mental health. \n\n\n\n\n\nMore on t
 his topic\n\n\n\n\nWatch: \n\n\nHow does climate change affect our mental 
 health?\n\nAbout Climate Cares\n\nRead: \n\nBriefing paper – ‘The impa
