Hope and Anxiety in the Climate Crisis.
Join this session for young COP delegates to talk openly about the mental health challenges faced by many activists today, and discuss why fighting for a more just and resilient future can and should go hand in hand with nurturing one‘s own wellbeing. The panel includes climate justice activist, researcher and writer Tori Tsui, and Akimal O'Otham and Hopie, Jacob Johns. In this discussion we hope to create a space for changemakers to share, discover and explore some of the tools and resources available to look after themselves, and each other, as we continue to navigate the climate crisis.

Restoring Our Relationship with Nature
In comparison to the climate crisis, awareness of and concern for biodiversity loss is still relatively low. Yet, it is biodiversity that sustains us as a species - from the air we breathe and the food we eat, to our mental wellbeing and the medicines we depend upon. Join this discussion with scientists and activists about our relationship with nature, how we are part of the very ecosystems we depend upon, and what nature positive actions we can take to ensure a healthy future for people and planet.

Workshop
12:00pm-1:00pm
Mind, Body, Heart: Connecting with ourselves and each other in the climate crisis
In the middle of the high intensity environment of COP28, it’s important to take some time to practice self and community-care. This will be a space to express and feel your climate anxiety, grief, anger, and frustration but also joy and hope (if you’re able to tap into that). The goal is to take a pause and recharge ourselves to keep fighting for climate justice. We will be doing mindfulness practices of breathwork, movement, meditation, reflection, affirmations, and journaling in order to release any tensions, grief, and sorrow as we build community and prepare ourselves for the fight for collective liberation. We are not separate from the world that has been broken and destroyed. We are part of the world that needs healing.
