Catalysing a global research community at the intersection of climate change and mental health.
The emerging, responsive space exploring these connected crises is currently siloed, unjust, and disconnected. Radical connection in this field is needed.
This new and inspiring project will bring together people from around the world to align research and action at the intersection of climate change and mental health. Our ambitious plan is to cultivate a connected, supported, and engaged community of practice on a global scale to create an actionable research agenda.
We will develop a global research agenda
Our work will be grounded in the needs of people with lived experience of mental health challenges in the context of climate change
We will deliver a series of regional and global dialogues
We will share our work and gather resources on an online platform
The Connecting Climate Minds Sub Saharan Africa, coordinated by Claretian University of Nigeria had its first Dialogue on September 11, 2023 with about 66 participants. During the plenary, the RCC convenor for SSA, Prof Kenneth Yongabi delivered a commentary on the prevalent climate change hazards in SSA and how they affect mental health.
We would love you to be a part of our movement.
