Breaking Boundaries: Planet, Mind and Action

Event Information

In 2021, the 萝莉视频 published a powerful position statement in response to the Climate and Ecological Emergency (CEE). Within the statement, the College committed to achieving net zero in the emissions it directly controls by 2040 and highlighted its divestment from fossil fuels.

Five years on from these actions, this 1 day, in-person conference, in London, will provide an update on the science of the CEE and its mental health impacts.

We will highlight the significant contribution of the fossil fuel, food and related industries to the CEE, and the negative impacts they have on both public health and the environment.

We will explore how we can use our influence in this evolving and important field and, while acknowledging the barriers, discuss what actions we can take to achieve change.

Confirmed speakers include Dr Caroline Hickman, world renowned author, Psychologist and researcher; Dr May Van Schalkwyk, Public Health Researcher; Charlie Hertzog Young, author and person with lived experience; Dr Lynne Jones (OBE), author, child psychiatrist and relief worker.

This event is open to all Psychiatrists, mental health professionals and people with lived experience

  • To understand the severity and pervasiveness of the mental health impacts of the climate and ecological emergency (CEE) globally and across all generations. 
  • To understand the nature of and factors contributing to climate distress, including the role of moral injury.
  • To consider the implications of the above for psychiatric practice including questions about anxiety symptoms relating to the CEE when taking a psychiatric history. 
  • To explore the role of psychiatrists as highly educated, respected and trusted professionals in raising awareness of the serious health impacts of the CEE and the urgency of the situation, in the UK and globally. 

In alignment with the theme of the programme, for this conference we are looking to deliver a more sustainable event. This will be reflected in our approach to catering, the selection and use of resources, and the monitoring and encouragement of sustainable travel options for both our attendees and speakers to the event.
