Climate Mental Health
For mental health support activities on climate justice, please see You Are a Climate Leader
Acknowledge people from under-resourced and overburdened communities are disproportionately impacted by climate change
Include diverse sets of voices, especially those most impacted
To successfully imagine a sustainable future and take collective climate action, a multitude of voices are needed including those of Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, and Pacific Islander communities that are already living through and adapting to a changing world.
Include other ways of knowing
Much of the science taught across the curriculum is based on Western scientific approaches. Incorporating other ways of knowing about the natural world, such as Traditional Ecological Knowledge, or Indigenous Knowledge, refers to knowledge systems that Indigenous people have acquired over hundreds and thousands of years through their direct connection with the environment.
