Research from Dr. Nick Obradovich on Climate Change and Mental Health Featured in Nature

Research from Dr. Nick Obradovich and colleagues evaluating the effects of climate change on the expression of positive and negative emotions is part of news feature article published today in a Nature News Feature focused on the rise of eco-anxiety (a chronic fear of environmental doom) resulting from devastating weather-related events such as hurricanes, droughts, floods and fires. Highlighted in an associated Nature Editorial, Dr. Obradovich has also been involved in working to develop global mental-health indicators that can be linked to weather and climate data, as part of the Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change, that will contribute to efforts to better evaluate and effectively reduce the effect of climate change's mental health burden.
