It seems that the environmental crisis is having a gradual impact on the mental health of today's society.

In fact, climate change affects a whole range of factors linked to our health: clean air, drinking water, sufficient food, housing security, all of which contribute to making living conditions more difficult.¹ In addition, all the natural disasters observed around the world and in France (fires, heat waves, earthquakes, floods) contribute to a feeling of anxiety that impacts on people's mental health.

What's more, climate change could considerably amplify human conflicts, with a notable impact on our mental health. One study has linked temperature variations to an increase in violence, both towards others and towards oneself through suicidal acts.²
