Climate Change and Student Mental Health
Climate Change and Student Mental Health, published by Student Minds and funded by the UPP Foundation, is one of the first reports exploring the impact of climate change on mental health in UK higher education. This report invites you to get curious about the relationship between two of the greatest challenges facing our student population.
Key themes explored within this report include agency and leadership, uncertainty, sustainability in the curriculum, the impact on specific student groups, the role of universities and government, and more. We hope this work is a stepping stone for any researcher, activist, policy-maker, university leader or student looking to understand this connection and address these pressing issues.
