Climate Change 101 - Climate change and mental health for parents

Did you know climate change can cause stress and anxiety, especially in young people? 

Climate change impacts every aspect of our lives, from weather patterns to public health and even our children’s well-being.

It is impacting our everyday lives—bringing challenges like unpredictable weather, flooding, droughts, and public health risks. It’s also affecting key areas like food production, healthcare, and jobs. However, it’s not just about problems; there are new opportunities for innovation, like green jobs and sustainable practices.

For parents, it’s important to understand how climate change affects families and can create stress for children and young people.

Simple actions we can take to adapt
