What we do

Awareness

We explain how a thriving earth relies on the collective ability of people to cope with and act on major and urgent transformation; and how mental health and other care practices can help do that.   

We are mainstreaming mental health into discussions on climate adaptation, showing how action must be not just about societies’ physical ‘hardware’, but about its human ‘software’ too.

Action

We curate coalitions of experts, advocates, care providers, decision-makers and funders to support projects that are co-created with local communities living on the front lines of the climate crisis all around the world. From smallholder farmers coping with a rapidly changing climate reality to young people driving climate action in informal settlements, COP² supports and boosts the psychological resilience of individuals and communities tackling the crisis.

Advocacy

Through ongoing Regional Dialogues, we harness the learning and experience of this proliferating community to identify tangible policies to bring to the UNFCCC and COP processes; to national, regional and local governments; and to other global initiatives impacting sustainability, wellbeing or environmental survival.

We work widely with others to get those priorities adopted and enacted.
