Membership

Mental health and climate change is as an area of urgent research need as communities are being confronted with climate disasters with increasing impact and frequency. Our members are affiliated with universities and institutions across Australia, and are dedicated to conducting research to support social and emotional wellbeing in a rapidly changing climate. Members work together to:

• explore evidence gaps
• harness transdisciplinary expertise to find innovative ways of addressing social and emotional health challenges relating to changing climates
• translate findings into real world applications to support Australians experiencing mental health impacts resulting from climate change.

The Network is grounded in the values of equity, diversity and inclusion and invites researchers from diverse backgrounds to be part of its vibrant, dynamic and empowered community. We welcome Australian-based researchers from all disciplines with free membership available to Masters students and above.
