"The climate crisis is about the Global South’s present Not the Global North’s future." - @disharavii https://t.co/x89eR2wTae

We have spent two weeks at #COP26 engaging with people from around the world and reminding stakeholders that the climate emergency is a mental health emergency. This video summarises our time at COP #RCPsychClimate

Following a brilliant joint event on the impacts of climate change on #MentalHealth, it’s time for some more end-of-the-day #COP26 reflections from @DrAdrianJames, Dr @KatherineKennet, and Dr Lisa Page.

“Our inaction will be paid in children’s lives”- Dr Rosie Spooner on the health impacts on climate change at @WHO Health Pavilion here at #COP26 with @rcpsych @rcpsychGreen

‘Hurry up please it’s time’ - by Cornelia Parker. Created for #COP26 “This work is intended to remind us by that we need to act fast. We are all in the last chance saloon, but politicians are not responding quickly enough to avoid climate disaster.”

“Climate change is not a future threat but a current catastrophe”- Dr Lynne Jones speaking about the mental health impacts of climate change from a refuge camp where she is seeing the current devastating effects of climate change @rcpsych at #COP26

Dr Lisa Page for @rcpsych at #COP26 providing real solutions for the significant effects of climate change on mental health. The climate emergency is a mental health emergency. @rcpsychGreen

“Forced migration has serious effects on mental health including higher rates of psychosis.” - Dr Page at @rcpsych event at #COP26 These are long term and serious effects of climate change on mental health. The climate emergency is a mental health emergency.

There is strong evidence of increase suicide rates with increasing heat. “If we do nothing to mitigate climate change, there will be an additional 22,000 excess suicides in USA and Mexico alone between 2015 & 2050” -Dr Lisa Page at @rcpsych event at #COP26

Dr Lisa Page: extreme weather events lead to significant impacts on mental health: “30% of people affected by floods develop PTSD, much of which is chronic”. The climate emergency is a mental health emergency. @rcpsych at #COP26

“Fossil fuel air pollution is blamed for 1 in 5 deaths worldwide. Those living poor areas of our communities are at higher risk” Air pollution is also closely linked to dementia as well as physical health illness. The climate crisis is a health & equity crisis, @rcpsych at #COP26

Dr Spooner at the @WHO health pavilion here at #COP26 calling on clinicians to find the carbon hot spots in their practice and find ways to safely reduce the environmental impact of their work. Climate is a social determinant of health @rcpsych @rcpsychGreen

“Climate change acts as an amplifier of inequalities”- Dr Spooner at #COP26 clearly explaining why climate change is an issue of social justice, equality and affects young people more than any others @rcpsych @rcpsychGreen

“Nature is a powerful ally in the fight against climate change & we need to invest in nature based solution .It’s a cost effective way to address both mitigation & adaption. This COP has undervalued nature as never before” powerful words at high level pleanery at #COP26 @rcpsych

A call to raise ambitions in decarbonising global transport here at transport day at #COP26 green transport has enormous benefits for physical and mental health. @rcpsych

A call to “leave no one behind” at #COP26 as we hear how climate change is making mountainous regions even more challenging to live in with glaciers melting rapidly. Climate migration increases the risk of severe mental health disorders. Climate is a mental health issue @rcpsych

Quite shocking to hear pro-natural gas views at #COP26 high level plenary. The planet needs to reduce emissions urgently to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees which is the least worse option for all people who call earth home, and their mental health @rcpsych

Exciting event on #climatechange and #mentalhealth this afternoon at 5pm at the @WHO pavilion here at #COP26 and online:
