Description

The Greenway International Foundation is a nonprofit raising awareness of the impact of the climate crisis on mental health and promoting self-care. Raising awareness is crucial to changing the mental health crisis caused by climate change. When more people are knowledgeable and vocal about the issues, it creates pressure to address the concerns.

The consequences of the climate crisis on mental health are understudied and underappreciated, despite it being one of the world's most significant health threats.

Climate change can significantly impact mental health, both directly and indirectly. Direct impacts include the stress and anxiety caused by extreme weather events, such as floods, wildfires, storms, and heat waves. Indirect effects include the loss of livelihood, displacement, and social disruption that can accompany climate change.
