About

The 2025 Mental Health and Climate Change Summit is a three-day event dedicated to exploring the connections between climate change and mental health. This gathering brings together researchers, mental health professionals, environmental advocates, policymakers, and community members from around the world to address how climate change affects psychological well-being and how mental health strategies can bolster resilience against climate impacts.


The Summit features a blend of keynote presentations, panel discussions, interactive workshops, and community dialogues. Topics range from eco-anxiety and climate grief to the mental health benefits of climate action and community resilience. By sharing research, art, personal stories, and practical tools, the Summit aims to inspire meaningful change, equipping attendees with the knowledge and support needed to advocate for mental health within the climate movement.

History of The Summit

In February 2021, we launched the First Mental Health and Climate Change Summit — a two-day virtual event attended by more than 120 climate change and mental health experts, stakeholders, and community members. The meeting aimed to raise awareness and facilitate community engagement on the topic of climate change and mental health and specifically discuss the pathways by which mental health and wellness and climate change influence each other.

In February 2023, we held the Second Mental Health and Climate Change Summit, inviting speakers from across Canada and around the globe to present their latest research on climate change and mental health.
