Mental wellness, mental health, and mental wellbeing are seldom conversations that are brought up when we are talking about climate change and climate justice. In this conversation, we unpack the connections between mental health, the environment, and climate justice.

This conversation helps us to identify current and emerging opportunities for indigenous peoples and local communities to contribute to climate change mitigation, including opportunities for application of traditional knowledge and practices.

We look at the East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline as a case study to understand how communities are being displaced, wildlife is being threatened, and the worsening effects of the climate crisis.

This conversation helps us understand the connections between gender and the impacts of climate change on different groups of people, and how this affects how we advocate for a better world for all.

What does it mean to decolonise the climate justice movement? This conversation helps us visualise what decolonisation looks like in a practical sense and imagine what possible opportunities exist when we look to creating a future that serves all, a future that is just and equitable.
