Let’s talk mental health – from one climate activist to another!
For this webinar led by our project’s eco-emotions expert Juni Sinkkonen, we have invited Pimpichcha Sullivan-Tailyour from Force of Nature and Natalie Heller from Climate Mental Health Network to have an open conversation about what concerns climate activists today, and how they’re coping with emotion (over)load.
We will discuss:
- Personal journeys into climate activism;
- Activism burnout and everything that comes with it;
- How to take sustainable climate action.
