Beyond Storms & Droughts: The Psychological Impacts of Climate Change

Description:
Research and communications about the impacts of climate change have generally focused on physical impacts, like more extreme storms, rising sea levels, and increasingly severe droughts. Psychological impacts, on the other hand, have received comparatively little attention. The goal of this report is to summarize these and other impacts on human well-being, and provide climate communicators, planners, policymakers, public health officials and other leaders the tools they need to both respond to these impacts and bolster public engagement around climate change.
