Online and In-person: Pulitzer Hall (World Room), Columbia University, 2950 Broadway, New York

Event Description

Just as climate change strains the health of ecosystems, it also strains human health—including mental health. What changes if we consider the climate crisis a mental health crisis? What lessons can we draw from bioethics to address that crisis? And can a mental health lens help us better understand and combat other pernicious and persistent social problems of our time? A discussion at the intersection of mental health, climate change, and bioethics.
