Jessica Newberry Le Vay "Supporting youth mental health & inspiring climate action"

Jessica Newberry Le Vay, Climate Change and Health Policy Fellow at the Climate Cares Centre, Imperial College London, a collaboration between Imperial’s Institute of Global Health Innovation and the Grantham Institute - Climate Change and the Environment. “Supporting youth mental health and inspiring climate action through education" Win-win opportunities exist in education to empower young people with the knowledge, tools, resilience and agency to: build and maintain strong mental health, thrive in an uncertain future, take part in meaningful collective climate action, and pursue careers that contribute to a more sustainable world. This talk will share new research from the Compass Project, led by the Climate Cares Centre at Imperial College London. Working with students and educators across England, the project explores how schools, colleges, and universities can integrate climate education and mental health support to help prepare young people for a future in a changing world.
