Climate instability is one of the most urgent public health threats of the 21st century. Mental health is profoundly impacted by disruptions associated with climate change.
Since individuals only have a limited impact, we can be more effective when we join together to amplify our voices and actions. We educate the profession and the public about the urgent risks of the climate crisis, including its profound impacts on mental health and well-being.

As a grassroots collaboration of psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, we aim to nimbly and creatively advocate for change—educating and motivating others to act to protect health and build a sustainable world. We are creating a forum to bring psychiatrists and other mental health professionals together to form a collective voice.

As we focus on the urgent psychological dimensions of the climate and ecological crisis, Climate Psychiatry Alliance recognizes the need to imagine a more just future world. We are increasingly horrified by and grieve for injustices throughout the world and at home and view the struggle for climate justice as aligned, both morally and practically, with all worldwide struggles for justice.
