A group of B.C. researchers have launched a project to monitor climate change\u002Drelated anxiety in the hopes of providing front\u002Dline health care workers and policy\u002Dmakers with better tools.
The project — based on studies conducted during last years’ heat dome and atmospheric river events — aims to understand how climate change is impacting Canadians’ mental health.
It was one of the first quantitative population studies examining climate related concerns, Card said. The idea is to measure climate-related distress without breaching anyone’s personal privacy, he said.Can we use it as a tool to tap into the feelings that people might be having in response to not only climate change, Card asked.
