Climate Distress, Emotional Resiliency,                      and Collaborative Action

With more of us awakening to the reality of the climate crisis, our collective psyche is experiencing a huge emotional toll, with distress rising in tandem with climate impacts. Climate psychology helps us channel eco-anxiety, eco-grief, and rage into action, and develop emotional strategies to stay engaged in climate solutions without becoming overwhelmed or burned-out.

Climate Psychology brings a relevant understanding of complex human behavior to environmental sustainability efforts, exploring the intersectionality of climate, psychology, education, social justice, media, and policy. Individuals, communities, and organizations can cultivate effective tools for building resiliency and leveraging the full range of our human capacities toward addressing the deep challenges of our times.
