Some consider the climate crisis, the most urgent issue for the earth's future and ourselves on it. Yet, why is it so hard to engage with it, systemically and as individuals? Why is it so hard to inspire action for those working on the climate crisis? What does it take to work in sustainability within large corporations? And how do each of us, Earth's inhabitants, get emotionally impacted by the climate crisis? Why does this topic evoke polarization in society and politically, between activists and deniers?  In this Lateral Dialogue, we are exploring all these questions, through the so-called climate psychology, a relatively new discipline concerned with understanding the dynamics and emotional experiences, related to the climate crisis. For those actively working on this, as well as for all individuals exposed to its consequences in everyday life.   To explore these questions we are joined by Dr Rebecca Nestor, who has researched the experience of working in the climate crisis and has consulted to people who work in organizations that deal with this matter, climate scientists, and campaign groups. Rebecca regularly runs climate cafes, which are opportunities for people to come together in small groups and share their emotional responses to the climate crisis and create meaning together. Next to this, she's also a board member of the Climate Psychology Alliance. As her tagline says, she provides support for those who are facing the climate crisis.  Hosted by Petros Oratis and Warden Hoffman from The Lateral Space.

THE DECO-STOP: A DEEPER LOOK INTO THE HUMANS BEHIND DEEP SEA SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY. This is our third Deco-Stop episode, and this time we're focusing on eco-anxiety. We are currently in the midst of an ecological crisis, but eco-anxiety is something of a mental health crisis in response. Many of us who work in this space (and many of us who don't) are feeling these emotions, including plenty of our listeners who have got in touch to share their experiences. As such, we've wanted to make this episode for some time, but during it's production, it became a far bigger subject than we were ready for. One thing that did become apparent, is that this is a dangerous subject and it is something that can do real harm. In this episode, we share with you some stories of how different individuals have influenced their lives in a direct response to eco-anxiety. Plus, we hear from the perspective of a psychotherapist who specialises in the field of climate & eco-crisis psychology. However, this is not a list of answers, and the priority is your health and safety and as the listener.   We hope that this episode offers an insight towards such a big and difficult topic. Whilst it won't leave you with a complete set of instructions on how to fix the world, we hope you find it comforting that there is a huge number of people who are feeling the same as you are. It's a lrngthy one, so grab a cup of tea, give your local tree a quick hug, and tune in to this beefy episode of the Deco-Stop.   MEET OUR GUESTS CAROLINE HICKMAN Psychotherapist and lecturer at the University of Bath working in the field of climate psychology.

Women and Girls on the Climate Change Frontline: Navigating Climate Change, a podcast series that shines a light on the women and girls leading the fight against climate change in the least developed countries.In the previous episodes, we journeyed to The Gambia, meeting women with grand solutions for climate crisis adaptation, and emphasized the importance of women's leadership. Today, one critical issue is in focus: Education. United Nations studies reveal that despite being in the 21st century, the world is still far from achieving universal education. Limitations are especially pronounced for girls and quality is a significant issue, a 'learning crisis' as termed by the World Bank.We explore whether more formally educated women will result in more women leaders. However, our spotlight veers towards non-formal education, as guided by our interviewees, diverging via two primary channels: the arts and media.Our Guests in this episode:Shelot Masithi. She is a 24-year old environmental activist from South Africa. She is the founder of She 4 Earth, a climate school educating children and youths of African descent about climate change, shifting from carbon-centric climate change to include water scarcity, climate migration/displacements, food insecurity, and the psychology encompassing these global problems. Redesigning education to equip the younger generation for a Net Zero Future. Her work is centered on Ubuntu.

In this ClimateGenn episode I am speaking with author and member of the Climate Psychology Alliance, Sally Weintrobe. We discuss underlying mental processes ranging from Narcissistic entitlement, to profound caring. These form the individual and collective conflicts that society is wrestling with in responding to the climate and ecological crisis. Thanks to all members and subscribers for supporting this work. There is a great deal more interviews to record and to process and your support is vital. [Please note that due to COP28 being in process I am not editing this to a shorter version] Sally is also quoted in my book COPOUT that is available now for preorder. (https://amzn.to/4a2woub) I discuss the failure of governments to act in the last three decades of climate conferences that have passed by and highlight the changing themes that are dominating the current rounds of climate talks. This year will also mark the first COP where Professor Saleemul Huq will not be present. Saleem died last month, leaving a legacy of clear thinking, relentless action and calling out the people, governments and corporations pushing us all into catastrophe. He has featured in many of my interviews and been a significant influence and inspiration in my work over the last decade. Thanks again for listening.

How can we, as parents, grandparents and anyone who cares about the fate of future generations, live our lives in such a way that when our children ask us why we didn't do more,  we can say with honesty that we did all that we could? How do we help them to build resilience, to feel safe in a supportive community and in connection with the natural world so that as they grow, they can face the truth about the world they have inherited?And how can we use our role as parents to create conversations that matter, not only with people with meet in our daily lives but also with those in positions of power. These are some of the core questions that prompted environmentalist and movement-builder, Rowan Ryrie to co-found Parents for Future, a fast-growing group of parents who have come together to support each other in navigating the climate crisis and trying to secure a safer, fairer world for children everywhere. Rowan says, 'Together, we can be much more courageous than we can alone,' and she's brought this understanding to their latest project, 'Courageous Conversations'.  It's a pilot project just now, but when the results are in next year, it will be spread out around the UK and then, if there's funding, around the world, to give us emotionally literate tools to engage with the people we encounter in our communities of place, purpose and passion. This feels to me to be right at the cutting edge of the emergent future we need to create. It's grounded in a theory of change that makes sense in the realities of overall systemic change, while at the same time, understanding that shift happens one courageous conversation at a time, and that we all feel better if we can share our fears and build hopes that work for everyone. Rowan specifically wanted me to assure everyone that Parents for Future is not only for those with young children - or any children - if you care about the world we're leaving to the generations that come after us, human and more than human, then do join. There are 28,000 members and rising, all around the world - and if there's not a physical, location-based group near you, and you want to set one up they'll help. Parents for Future https://parentsforfuture.org.uk/Larger Us https://larger.us/Climate Psychology Alliance https://www.climatepsychologyalliance.org/Climate Parent Fellowship https://ourkidsclimate.org/climate-parent-fellowship/The Week https://www.theweek.ooo/The Britain Talks Climate research paper https://climateoutreach.org/reports/britain-talks-climate/ Social Media linksRowan, LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/rowan-ryrie/Rowan Instagram @rowanryrieTwitter https://twitter.com/rowanryrieParents for Future LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/company/parents-for-future-uk/Instagram https://instagram.com/@rowanryrieTwitter https://twitter.com/parents_4futureMastadon: https://climatejustice.global/@Parents4FutureUK FB: https://www.facebook.com/ParentsForFutureUK/ Instagram: https://instagram.com/@parentsforfuture_uk Mastadon: https://climatejustice.global/@Parents4FutureUK FB: https://www.facebook.com/ParentsForFutureUK/

#74: At this point, we're all well aware that climate change is an ever-growing threat to our lives and our environment. We've seen the mounting evidence over the years. All the scientific reports just seem be getting worse. The future — at times — looks grim. All this can lead to a phenomenon called “climate doomism.” It's the narrative that the damage to our environment has been done and, really, there is nothing we can do about it. But this mindset is super problematic, and is making our environmental issues worse. So today, LAist's climate emergency reporter Erin Stone hangs out with Isais Hernandez, a content creator known as Queer Brown Vegan, to chat about this negative outlook and how to fight against it. Guest: Isais Hernandez, environmental educator and content creator for Queer Brown Vegan Learn more about his work here: https://queerbrownvegan.com/ OTHER RESOURCES:  If you're struggling with climate anxiety or want to learn how to fight climate doomism, check out The Climate Psychology Alliance. To find opportunities to help fight the effects of climate change locally, Climate Resolve connects communities to come up with equitable solutions.  Get involved in local organizations like Pacoima Beautiful, which was founded in 1996 by five moms who were distraught about the pollution and trash in their community. Today, the environmental justice group continues to clean up neighborhoods all over the Northeast San Fernando Valley and beyond. 

Wildfire is a vital ecological process, but it can be dangerous. It's also a tangible reminder of how our climate is changing around us. Therefore, living in areas impacted by wildfire can be stressful on many levels, and individuals may experience eco-anxiety –  or even eco-grief –  in response.  On the latest episode of the Living With Fire Podcast, guest Caitlyn Wallace, LCSW, unpacks these terms and talks about ways to address feelings about wildfire and climate change. According to Wallace, “Eco-anxiety is the anxiousness and the worry about the changing climate and what might happen. And eco-grief is the sadness and grief at the loss of life – human, animal and plant life – that you anticipate to come.”Wallace, a licensed clinical social worker and therapist in Northern Nevada, specializes in perinatal mental health and the emerging field of climate-informed therapy. She treats patients experiencing pregnancy, postpartum depression and anxiety, infertility, grief and loss. Wallace explained that some of her clients were also experiencing eco-anxiety and eco-grief. “I started noticing in some of my clients this grief and guilt around – I work so hard for this baby, I tried so hard for this baby. The baby is here. And now I am guilty and ashamed because there's a pandemic, there's smoke, there's this warming climate and we're in a huge drought. What did I do? Why did I bring a baby into this world?” said Wallace. On the podcast, Wallace explained that anxiety and grief show up differently for everyone. Therefore, there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution for dealing with eco-anxiety and grief. However, she emphasized the importance of acknowledging feelings and experiences. “I think that a big thing is being able to name it and being able to talk about it. Yeah, we know enough to know that for a lot of these things. Specifically, depression, anxiety, that being able to talk about your feelings around them gets you out of a fight-or-flight reactive place and into a place where you can be more responsive.”Wallace speaks about the benefits of finding a space to talk about the feelings of eco-anxiety, such as a Climate Café modeled after Death Cafés. According to the Climate Psychology Alliance of North America, a Climate Café is “an informal, open, respectful, confidential space to safely share emotional responses and reactions related to the climate and environmental emergency.”Wallace is one of the only climate-informed therapists in Northern Nevada and has started hosting free Climate Cafés in Reno, which you can read about in Our Town Reno.

Something special for the holidays! In this December's two bonus mini episodes, Daillen and Megan reflect on BeDo's recent workshops delivered in partnership with the Scottish Graduate School of Social Sciences (SGSSS).Research shows that climate change poses a credible challenge to global mental health. 'Climate distress' encompasses a vast range of challenging feelings and psychological responses to our rapidly changing environment—from eco-anxiety, to climate doom, to solastalgia, and everything in between. In this episode, we review our recent workshop on the subject, including manifestations of climate distress and compassionate, mindfulness-based strategies for resilience.RESOURCES:We mention The Lancet's recently published study on climate anxiety among youth from around the world, as well as the Climate Psychology Alliance and their treasure trove of helpful resources. Plus, they offer three free counselling sessions to anyone struggling with climate-related mental health challenges. Megan references Wilcox's (2012) paper on Inuit practices of grief and mourning for environmental loss. You can get a daily dose of positive climate news delivered to your inbox via Harvard's newsletter The Climate Optimist. And last but not least, check out the work of Joanna Macy, particularly her book Active Hope, for a powerful reflection on the necessity of hope and intention as it relates to the climate crisis.If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review!You can also subscribe to BeDo's quarterly newsletter for exclusive updates about upcoming episodes and events.Is there a topic you'd like to see covered?

This episode is all about feelings. You've heard the phrase “climate grief,” right? But how do we deal with what it does to our hearts, minds, and bodies? And how might it impact the climate action we take? This episode features Dr. Britt Wray, a Stanford-based author and researcher on climate and mental health; somatic coach and climate grief worker, Selin Nurgün; and Zen priest and Environmental Defense Fund senior scientist, Dr. Kritee Kanko. Check out Britt's weekly newsletter Gen Dread and her recent book Generation Dread. And learn more about the grief rituals Kritee facilitates through Boundless in Motion and the Rocky Mountain Ecodharma Retreat Center.  In this episode, we discuss Joanna Macy and The Work That Reconnects, as well as public rituals such as the glacier memorial created by Dr. Cymene Howe and Dr. Dominic Boyer. And we quote some wise folks whose work you should check out: Resmaa Menakem, Sherri Mitchell, and Dr. Susi Moser. If you're struggling with climate distress, you might want to explore the Climate Psychology Alliance's directory of climate-aware therapists, the Good Grief Network's 10-step program, Plum Village's online retreats, or the embodied approaches of Generative Somatics. If you're looking for an approach based in conversation and community, try All We Can Save Circles, Climate Cafes, or Climate Awakening (created by Dr. Margaret Klein Salamon). The guided meditation at the end of the episode was created by Katharine for The All We Can Save Project's Climate Wayfinding program. Next time, we'll look at the climate impact of crypto.

If you give a shit, well, you've probably had at least a few moments where the enormity of what's in front of us has challenged your mental health in some way. I can't imagine there are many folks listening to this show who've never felt the heaviness of our climate future, of our climate present. There's a lot of guilt, a lot of shame, a lot of shame about that shame, a lot of furious action – we're here, aren't we. And running parallel alongside all of those emotions is the dread of what's being done out there, about the lack of action, and for the people who are taking action on the frontlines of the future, giving it their all. But, as Dr. Katharine Hayhoe says, we have to talk about it.  Not just what's happening, but how we're dealing with it.  How we can recognize it and move forward, for ourselves, together, for the planet, for the people who will come after us. My guest today is Dr. Britt Wray. Britt is the author of the fantastic new book “Generation Dread: Finding Purpose in an Age of Climate Crisis”, an impassioned generational perspective on how to stay sane amid climate disruption. Britt has a Ph.D. in Science Communication from the University of Copenhagen and is the author of "Rise of the Necrofauna: The Science, Ethics and Risks of De-Extinction." She is currently a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (sure, why not both?), where she researches the mental health impacts of climate change on young people. Britt is also the author of Gen Dread, the first newsletter that shares wide-ranging ideas for supporting emotional health and psychological resilience in the climate and wider ecological crisis. I have learned so much from Britt of late, and her book is a tremendous source of empathy and courage. I think you will find us both baring a bit of our souls and our beliefs in this conversation, and hopefully, some ways we can all cope and build a radically more supportive world – for everyone. ----------- Have feedback or questions? http://www.twitter.com/importantnotimp (Tweet us), or send a message to questions@importantnotimportant.com New here?

In this episode, we talk about our own experiences with eco-anxiety. Eco-anxiety is defined by the Climate Psychology Alliance as the heightened emotional and mental distress in response to dangerous changes in the climate system. We've all felt it at one point or another, and if you haven't, maybe your climate bubble just hasn't popped yet. Eco-anxiety can be difficult to talk about, but the more you talk about it, the less anxious you'll feel. And if you don't have anyone to talk about it with, then sit back and listen to us talk about it – it might relieve some of your worries to know that you're not feeling this alone. We share when we first started feeling eco-anxious and the emotions we've felt while experiencing eco-anxiety, and we learn a new term: “solastalgia,” the pain or distress caused by the loss of a comforting place, the isolation one feels when their home or land is lost. We move into talking about eco-anxiety, and ways you can relieve your eco-anxiety through small tangible actions like composting, saving the cold water that comes out of your faucet, and connecting with the earth. And lastly, both educators and students can bring this discussion into their classrooms by opening up real and honest conversations about climate change and eco anxiety. We discuss how educators can prompt more solutions-based projects, and how students can choose to center their class projects around climate change (whether it's explicitly assigned or not).

Dr. Debbie Sturm, clinical psychologist and member of The Climate Psychology Alliance of North America, has been among those warning of a looming health crisis centered around climate anxiety. She's our guest this time on the BehavioralCorner.The Behavioral Corner Podcast is made possible by Retreat Behavioral Health. Learn more - https://www.retreatbehavioralhealth.com

Climate envoy John Kerry described it as “the last best chance the world has" — this weekend world leaders and thousands of negotiators, journalists, and activists converge on Glasgow for COP26, the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference. In the span of two weeks, can world leaders pull off what they never have, committing to realistic carbon-cutting policies in order to limit the planet's disastrous warming? Those who fear the worst may be familiar with the feeling of “eco-anxiety.” Caroline Hickman — a practicing psychotherapist and board member of the Climate Psychology Alliance — defines the phenomenon... and tells us what we can do about it.

Tim talks with Caroline Hickman (Psychotherapist and member of the Climate Psychology Alliance).It has never been more important to be engaged in the conversation about the climate crisis. In part 2 of this 3 part mini series  we look at the psychology of climate change. We discuss eco anxiety, how it doesn't have to be a bad thing, in fact it's healthy and can become a motivating force for action.Thanks:Kelly Lomas & Gif Lemon - Artwork'Still Pickin', Kevin Macleod - Theme tuneImages used for Instagram and Face Book posts - Sonia Shomalzadeh Related Links:Twitter@CarolineHickmaClimate Psychology Alliance: https://www.climatepsychologyalliance.org/Climate Crisis Conversations (Climate Psychology Alliance podcast)https://castbox.fm/channel/Climate-Crisis-Conversations-id2174834?utm_source=website&utm_medium=dlink&utm_campaign=web_share&utm_content=Climate%20Crisis%20Conversations-CastBox_FMSally Weintrobe – ‘Psychological Roots of the Climate Crisis'https://www.sallyweintrobe.com/@sallyweintrobeSylvia Earlehttps://www.nationalgeographic.com/expeditions/experts/sylvia-earle/Sonia Shomalzadehhttps://www.soniashomalzadeh.com/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUrOCJfynVk

Anxiety about the climate is a serious and growing problem, in particular amongst young people. In Episode 8, Caroline Hickman from the Climate Psychology Alliance explores this phenomenon. She discusses how eco anxiety emerges, how it can affect learning, how it can be managed, and how language can act as a ‘safe space' where these anxieties can be addressed. In From the Field, we hear from Malaika, an incredible school in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is doing all it can to be self-sufficient and to embed climate responsibility in everything that it does, and how this can create resilience. The Green Glossary, meanwhile, focuses on the etymology of ‘fossil fuel', and considers the process of ‘register shift', that is, how the meaning of words can change over time.

Dr Sally Gillespie is a writer, workshop facilitator, lecturer and public speaker with a background in depth psychology and ecopsychology. Sally's recently published book Climate Crisis and Consciousness: Reimagining Our World and Ourselves, explores the psychological experience of engaging with climate change and related ecological concerns. There is a growing awareness of the climate emergency within our community and more people are acknowledging that the next ten years must bring about radical changes to avoid potentially catastrophic tipping points.This reality is confronting and can involve a wide range of emotions. Experiences of ecological anxiety and climate grief are burgeoning and coping with these feelings in the face of climate change is extremely important. The fight against climate change is not a sprint, it's a marathon - one that we will be dealing with for the rest of our lives and here Sally discusses strategies for staying engaged with climate change without burning out or becoming overwhelmed or depressed.Hot on the heels of the latest IPCC report this is a timely and extremely important conversation.In this episode we discuss:• Sally's background in Jungian psychotherapy and her transition to climate psychology • Why climate change is still such a taboo subject and how we can start fostering important conversations• The Importance of peer education and use of language when dealing with climate deniers or down-players• Strategies for tackling climate grief, feelings of helplessness and eco-anxiety• Cultivating grounded hope and building psychological resilience in the face of climate uncertainty• Nature deficit disorder and the importance of nature exposure and nature-based education for children• The importance of indigenous knowledge and the need for indigenous-led climate action• The work of Psychology for a Safe ClimateFor further resources on climate psychology research and support visit the Psychology for a Safe Climate or the Climate Psychology Alliance websites.If this story has raised concerns for you or someone you know, you can contact Lifeline Australia on 13 11 14 or Beyond Blue on 1300 22 4636 in Australia or Lifeline Aotearoa on 0800 LIFELINE (0800 54 33 54) or free text HELP (4357) in New Zealand.To view all the links to the websites and documents, make sure you visit the show notes on our website.

In this episode host Michael Shields interviews Sally Weintrobe, a Fellow of The British Psychoanalytical Society and a founder member of the Climate Psychology Alliance who Chairs the International Psychoanalytic Association's (IPA's) Committee on Climate. In 2021 she won an award from the IPA for her climate work. Her past publications include, as editor and contributor, Engaging with Climate Change, short-listed in 2014 for the International Gradiva Prize for contributions to psychoanalysis. Her recent book, Psychological Roots of the Climate Crisis: Neoliberal Exceptionalism and The Culture of Uncare, which is the focus of this episode, tells the story of a fundamental fight between a caring and an uncaring imagination. It helps us to recognize the uncaring imagination in politics, in culture, and also in ourselves.In her enlightening and important book, Sally Weintrobe argues that achieving the shift to greater care requires us to stop colluding with Exceptionalism, the rigid psychological mindset largely responsible for the climate crisis. People in this mindset believe that they are entitled to have the lion's share and that they can 'rearrange' reality with magical omnipotent thinking whenever reality limits these felt entitlements. Throughout the episode host Michael Shields and Sally Wintrobe explore the themes present in Psychological Roots of the Climate Crisis, exploring in depth how the rigid psychological mindset of Exceptionalism is largely responsible for the Climate Crisis. They also explore how lively entitlement powers the will to act for and care for others, how changing demographics are motivating the neoliberal empire to act more manipulative and brutal to hold onto power, how the Climate Crisis is affecting today's youth psychologically, and much, much more.

In this episode of Shaping The Future, I am speaking with Adrian Tait, co-founder of the Climate Psychology Alliance about his contribution to the new Deep Adaptation book. Links to buy Deep Adaption: https://www.amazon.com/Deep-Adaptation-Navigating-Realities-Climate/dp/1509546847 Support this channel: https://patreon.com/genncc Cambridge Climate Lecture Series - Shaping The Future: https://climateseries.com/climate-change-podcast Nick Breeze's site with full archive: genn.cc Climate Psychology Alliance: https://www.climatepsychologyalliance.org/ This newly published volume edited by and contributed to by Jem Bendell and Rupert Read includes an updated version of the original Deep Adaptation paper as well input from a total of 20 contributors across a range of fields that deal with issues related to Deep Adaptation and the subject of collapse. Deep Adaptation, with its subheader of ‘Navigating The Realities of Climate Chaos' is divided into 3 parts: The Predicament, Shifts In Being and Shifts In Doing. Adrian's contribution gives a broad overview of the evolving field of climate psychology, including the symptoms of distress and denial assisting us to recognise and empathise when we detect them in peers and/or colleagues. Deep Adaptation covers a range of subjects including the future of activism, leadership, the study of collapse itself and related ideas. It is itself a starting point to explore themes around feeling, assimilating and responding to systemic as well as ecological collapse. This subject of this book contrasts and compliments another book that will be published later this year titled ‘The Fight For Climate After COVID-19' by Alice Hill. Alice has previously served as special assistant to President Barack Obama and senior director for resilience policy on the National Security Council staff and will be discussing her new book here in late August just ahead of publication. Thank you for listening to Shaping The Future. You can now see the full archive of episodes at GENN.cc along with the archive of interviews and footage recorded at the last 5 COP's. As we prepare for COP26 in Glasgow, it is worth considering that the climate threats anticipated 30 years ago at the Rio Earth Summit are now among us creating suffering and loss on a daily basis, while not one policy fit for purpose has been implemented to prevent them. Someone might have warned George Bush Senior when he stated that the American way of life is not up for negotiation, that nature cares not for political grandiosity.

I had never heard of archaeotherapy until this conversation with Harriet Sams so join me in learning about how connection to our ancestral land can bring back our sense of wholeness, healing, belonging and connection.

From a very young age, Harriet has been in close connection to the landscape; especially to ancestral messages that are all around us, written onto the landscape. On rare occasions, the Voice of the world speaks to her and calls her into Service and Harriet interprets these messages as the voice of the ecological Whole; indivisible between human ancestor and landscape, all speaking with one voice. Through this awareness, she has realised that the land itself is where the healing resides. Harriet's work is all about helping participants to directly access the healing the land/ancestors can bring the individual, working as facilitator for this awareness and guide for support. Druidry and Quakerism guide her work; aspects of these spiritual traditions weave themselves into her teachings and offerings. She is currently undertaking a PhD in archaeotherapy with Bournemouth University, is on the advisory Boards for the Climate Psychology Alliance and for Radical Joy for Hard Times, an eco-spirituality charity.

In this video, Hannah speaks to Caroline Hickman, Climate Psychologist, Researcher, Psychotherapist and Counsellor. We discuss her cross-cultural work with young people, hear first hand examples of Eco-anxiety, and discuss tools to build resilience. Trigger warning: this discussion includes reference to extreme levels of despair and high levels of anxiety. To learn more about psychological research looking at the impacts on mental well-being, please head to Climate Psychology Alliance - a multidisciplinary group of contributors in this research area.

In this episode of Shaping The Future, I am speaking with Adrian Tait, a founding member of the Climate Psychology Alliance, (the CPA). Adrian discusses how the linkages between events such as the US election and COVID-19 are compounding the anxiety that many people feel about the climate and ecological crisis. In particular, he discusses Through The Door, a CPA initiative that has been utilised to help create a space where people who share anxieties about climate and ecology can come together. These groups are self-sustaining and may well offer the foundations of psychological resilience needed in ever more troubled times. One key observation is that the pandemic offers insights into how a society under pressure responds. In particular, Adrian highlights how necessary it is to discern the conflicting desires between a return to a pre-COVID world founded on unsustainable principals and the opportunity to reset our value systems and gear them towards a more balanced and sustainable world.
