Britt Wray: How climate change affects your mental health · 7:34 · Video: TED · Watch at the source

In short: While the physical impacts of climate change are well-documented, the mental and spiritual consequences remain largely overlooked. Science writer Britt Wray explores how a changing environment threatens our collective well-being and offers a starting point for navigating these psychological shifts.

Wray highlights that the conversation around climate change often ignores the profound psychological, social, and spiritual impacts on human life. By examining these less-discussed dimensions, the talk provides a framework for understanding how a warming world affects our internal sense of security and community.

The presentation serves as a guide for recognizing these threats to well-being and suggests actionable ways to address the mental burden of environmental change.
