The symposium examines the pathways linking ecological degradation, conflict, displacement, and psychological distress, highlighting emerging evidence on eco-anxiety, ecological grief, and the mental health consequences of climate-related migration. Speakers discuss trauma-informed and culturally responsive psychiatric care, community-based interventions, and strategies to strengthen resilience in affected populations. The role of psychiatry in responding to environmental crises through clinical practice, research, advocacy, and policy is also explored. Key topics include integrating climate-informed mental health care into routine practice, strengthening mental health systems for disaster preparedness, and supporting policies that incorporate mental health into climate adaptation and humanitarian responses. Bringing together perspectives from psychiatry, public health, and environmental science, the symposium aims to equip participants with practical approaches to addressing the growing mental health impacts of ecological degradation and to advance equitable, resilient mental health systems.
