Psychological Resilience as a Pillar of Climate Resilience Resilience HubBlue3rd December9-10amGary BeklinYes
https://www.globalresiliencepartnership.org/event/cop28-resilience-hub/
Yes
This event will make the case for mental health as a priority action for the health response to climate change. On top of suffering physical impacts from the climate crisis, people’s mental health is also being severely impacted, preventing them from thriving life and affecting their overall resilience. Moreover, with the costs of climate change on mental health, estimated at 47 billion US$ annually in 2030, the opportunity for action should no longer be missed. This event will showcase the growing evidence base on how the changing climate is impacting mental health and psychological resilience. It will focus on climate-induced mental health impacts among the most vulnerable communities including youth, those with disabilities, indigenous peoples, and people living with severe mental health challenges. To conclude, it will discuss 'opportunity for action’ and showcase evidence-based solutions and national strategies.
