Climate Conversations: Understanding Anxiety and Action

About the Event

 On 18 April 2025, The Mind Diaries hosted Climate Conversations: Understanding Anxiety and Action at the India International Centre, New Delhi, addressing the mental health impacts of climate change, particularly on children and youth. 


With The Climate Reality Project as Knowledge Partner and Vimhans as Official Partner, the event engaged 60+ participants, including mental health professionals, educators, journalists, and community leaders.

The Experience

The day featured four focused sessions:

  • Understanding Climate Anxiety (Moderator: Nidhi Jamwal) explored children’s emotional responses and resilience strategies.
  • Media and Climate Change (Moderator: Rajiv Tikoo) highlighted responsible, solution-oriented reporting.
  • Together We Can (Moderator: Namrata Gupta) showcased school- and community-based interventions, with insights from educators Mridul Batra and Neelinderjeet Kaur Sandhu.
  • Healing Through Art introduced environmental art therapy (Sonia Bhandari) and sound therapy (Dr Surabhi Johri) for emotional regulation.


Discussions addressed eco-anxiety in rural and marginalised communities, misinformation, and sustainable lifestyle practices. 


Nutritionist Kavita Devgan reinforced the link between diet, mental health, and resilience.
