TED Talk, how Climate Change effects our mental health
Britt Wray, radio broadcaster and science communicator, says: “For all that’s ever been said about climate change, we haven’t heard nearly enough about the psychological impacts of living in a warming world”. In this short talk, Britt explores how climate change is threatening our well-being – mental, social and spiritual – and offers a starting point for what we can do about it. Britt also runs workshops which explore issues of eco-anxiety, environmental justice, and bio-ethics, described on her website.
