Embracing diversity in our British landscapes should be at the heart of all of our decision making processes. I spoke today about this at #L4LConference in the context of race and rural racism which is reported in this BBC news article feat @LouisaAdjoa bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Eco-anxiety is on the rise. Many of my friends/fellow campaigners feel hopeless, nihilistic and despairing. If you're 30+, here are things that help and things that really, really don't, from my experience in practice. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-…

There are also inequalities in who has access to nature, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. So we are exploring how proximity to nature and other factors might influence this

Research suggests that spending time in nature is good for wellbeing. But is this still the case in the context of a #climateemergency?

@dan_psyd @ClimatePsych @ayanaeliza @EricHolthaus @ProjectDrawdown Living in Denial by Dr. Kari Norgaard was a game-changer for me!

Does this heat make you feel more empathy, more urgency, more connected to those in your environment? Does it make you more compassionate for those without access to shade, water, food, shelter? Does it move you to act? Anxious is not all we feel about the climate crisis.
