Climate and Mental Health Action Partnership

The climate-nature crisis is increasingly harming Londoners’ mental health: through direct impacts (e.g., flooding and heatwaves) and indirect impacts (e.g., feelings of worry and overwhelm that impact on people’s everyday lives).

On the Help Yourself and Others section of our website you can access a range of free online tools, resources, and information to support you and others in the face of the escalating impacts of the climate-nature crisis on their mental health and wellbeing.

Access Mental Health in the Climate Crisis resources.

As part of this agenda, Thrive LDN is convening a Climate, Environment and Mental Health Action Forum.

It will be a pan-London space to connect individuals and communities with multi-sector organisations to enable more effective, co-produced, and joined-up action on climate, nature and mental health.

Joining the forum

About the forum

Endorsed and supported by a wide range of stakeholders and partners, who will make up some of the initial membership, it will centre voices of community representatives, those with lived experiences of mental ill health and those most deprived socio-economically.

The Forum’s scope and work will be shaped by its members. Based on initial conversations with stakeholders, the key aims are to:

• Create a supportive platform that helps members to learn from collective efforts and share intelligence and best practice
• Co-develop an associated work programme and identify resources to support this work’s development and implementation
• Focus support offers on those most deprived socio-economically and/ or belonging to communities who have historically been marginalised and socially excluded
• Shape the development of a public mental health response to communities dealing with the climate-nature crisis.

The photos used on this page were taken by forum member Ben Wright from Ethical Creatives, captured during the forum’s meeting on 30th January 2025. Ethical Creatives is a creative media agency based in London with a passion for working on projects which not only uphold strong social and ethical values but also have a positive impact on both society and the people involved. 

The next session is scheduled to be held on Wednesday 7 May, between 11am – 12.30pm (online). To join, contact the team.
