Our Vision and Mission

Who We Are 

The Climate Psychiatry Alliance is a collaboration of psychiatrists and other mental health professionals confronting the public health and mental health consequences of the climate crisis. We bring a clinical and medical lens to the biological, behavioral, cognitive, and emotional toll climate change exacts on individuals and communities.


Mission 

To elevate awareness of the climate crisis as an urgent public and mental health emergency and to educate, advocate, and mobilize action to build a healthier future.

A world in which the mental health dimensions of the climate crisis are recognized, addressed, and prevented — and in which the institutions that safeguard health, science, and democratic participation are strong enough to meet the challenge.
