Connecting Climate Minds (CCM), a Wellcome funded project, is fostering connections between global, regional, country and community leaders in diverse disciplines and sectors relevant for climate change and mental health. Together, the growing regional and global CCM community has developed research and action agendas that reflect the experiences of communities and individuals living with mental health challenges affected by the climate crisis, to focus efforts towards a future better for mental health and the planet. For more information on the background to CCM please visit the project website here. 

On 19-21 March 2024, Connecting Climate Minds stakeholders will come together in person in Barbados to finalise the Global Research and Action Agenda, and celebrate the communities that have been built during the past year’s tremendous work undertaken by the Regional Communities of Practices, Lived Experience Working Group, the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre and Imperial’s Climate Cares Centre. 

The Connecting Climate Minds Global Event is the culmination of the project’s first year of work and will bring together key members of the community across the seven Sustainable Development Goal regions to showcase the project outputs, and learn from and with the growing global community in climate change and mental health (we hope that includes you!), and reflect together on next steps.

All are invited to join the event virtually to learn about the project outcomes, listen to presentations from our regional communities, youth, small farmers and fisher people, and indigenous communities on their findings, and connect with others joining the global climate change and mental health community.
