Dr Emma Lawrance from Imperial College London specialises in the intersections between climate change and mental health. Emma is the Climate Cares Centre Lead and Mental Health Lead at the Institute of Global Health Innovation.

Emma explains how climate change is a risk multiplier for mental health difficulties and how climate action is an opportunity multiplier for better mental health.

With a DPhil in Neuroscience from the University of Oxford and a background in studies of Science and Science Communication, Emma brings to her work a great technical knowledge along with a longstanding personal interest in nature and a curiosity about the human mind.
