Here's a new article that @MMikulewicz and I wrote discussing the invisible injustice of #mentalhealth & #ClimateChange. Find it here ๐ https://t.co/5uch5yv3jP
Super interesting generational gap on levels of guilt about personal environmental impact, via @GlobeScan, totally in line with what we're seeing with value-driven consumer behaviour.
The latest IPCC report contains 3600+ pages of overwhelming scientific evidence that the climate crisis is affecting every aspect of our lives.
At @healthy_climate we've tried to summarise in 20 pages what this means for our physical and mental health.

@PregnantScrewed are behind a campaign to get the Gov to debate childcare costs & funding. If you want your views represented: contact your MP easily with this link & ask them to represent! ๐ข https://t.co/26tRIouEX6
.@WWF published a new report today calling for the need to urgently recognise the links between the destruction of nature and human health. Pandemics like #COVD19 are made far more likely by the breakdown of this relationship ๐งช
RT if you agree:
Pressures on nature increase the risk of pandemics such as #COVID19. We must redefine our relationship with nature to protect people & planet. Leaders must take action in response to this crisis.

It's #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek; so take some time to check in with yourself, explore how you're feeling, and treat yourself with some top-notch self care ๐ Don't forget to reach out to others in your life, too, and see how they're doing. Share positivity!
The global efforts to tackle #COVID19 are saving 20 times more lives through #pollution reduction than the number of lives lost to the virus๐ท We are rapidly (unintentionally) decarbonising: a definite ray of hope. https://t.co/8cJlpZSQJR
The #COVID19 crisis is inextricably related to the climate crisis... Pandemics are getting more common. Let's demand a new normal as we endure and recover from this, and tackle the existential global threat of #ClimateChange with the same - united - zeal and determination โ
I'm looking forward to delivering a lecture to the MSc #ClimateJustice students today on health, #mentalhealth, and climate justice. I wish I was doing it on zoom, though... Would 100% use the #LesleyKnope background! #ParksAndRec
These are unprecedented times threatening our health & indeed our mental health. Stay safe, stay inside, stay connected & wash your hands! โ๏ธ
A huge win for the environment today: an historic judgement by UK courts (the 1st to be made based on the #ParisAgreement) has ruled that the proposed expansion to #Heathrow is illegal! Hopefully this will be the first in a tide of legal challenges against harmful carbon plans ๐งโโ๏ธ
