Climate and Mental Health

As products of nature, we are bound by its laws.

Achieving a good fit between how nature designed us and how we interact with the world in which we live is critical to our survival.

Because humans have steadily and increasingly been breaking the rules that govern Earth's climate systems, we are in deep trouble. In the news, we often hear of climate tipping points being reached that taken together threaten our very existence.  

Every day that action on climate is delayed, the risk to the natural world and humans accelerates.

But there is, undeniably, good news: every day more of us are waking up and taking actions that trigger social tipping points — and can lead to the rapid and widespread social change that helps restore us to safety.
