Understanding Climate Emotions
Feelings about the changing climate are showing up in classrooms, clinics, and kitchen conversations. These open-access resources give you the vocabulary, evidence, and practices to meet them, in yourself and in the people you support.
Free and open access. No sign-up required.
The guided course distills the full professional development curriculum into a two-hour learning experience. Take the course for a structured introduction, or work directly from the curriculum when you need the complete evidence base.
A guided, asynchronous introduction to climate emotions: what they are, what shapes them, and how to build resilience without turning away from the crisis. Narrated slides, reflection prompts, and short quizzes carry you from foundations to a final assessment and a certificate you can download.
Made for busy people: pause anytime, and your progress is saved in your browser.
The complete professional development curriculum the course is built on: fifty-one modules moving from the mental health impacts of climate change, through the landscape of climate emotions and the factors that shape them, to strategies for coping, policy, and practice.
Written for educators, clinicians, facilitators, and researchers who need depth, citations, and material they can adapt.
“We live in a changing climate, which poses real threats to life on earth. Mental and emotional challenges are the natural response to these threats. We cannot dismiss these responses, we must respond to them just like we must respond to their underlying causes.”
