As psychologists we are concerned not just about the environmental risks and impacts of climate change, but also by the serious psychosocial and mental health consequences of Government climate policies which fail to adequately address these serious problems. Our concerns include, but are not limited to:
The individual and collective psychosocial impacts can be expected to manifest themselves in terms of a greatly altered and diminished quality of life as well as environmental quality, and the myriad psychological and social costs of living under the shadow of an ongoing environmental stressor such as climate change. These impacts will exacerbate the influence of multiple other environmental stressors.
An effective Climate Change Direct Action Plan needs to be both genuine in reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions AND also factor in the real costs of predictable health and community impacts.
