A Finnish researcher has designed a visual tool to get us talking in depth about the emotional impact of the climate crisisEvery day we’re fed a slew of headlines warning of the scale of the climate crisis. The Climate Mental Health Network, a US-based resource hub, hopes to kickstart those conversations through the Climate Emotions Wheel. We have to take care of ourselves.”Dr Panu Pihkala has spent a decade researching people’s emotional responses to the climate crisis. He says the wheel has proved useful for his teaching because it helps legitimise a whole range of feelings around climate change, beyond just grief, such as empathy, hope and empowerment. He acknowledges it’s possible that Trump’s open assault on climate science might limit the usage of the tool in the US: the conservative Project 2025 aims to scrub out climate change from public education and the federal government completely.
