Abstract

Climate change can be a natural process where temperature, rain, wind and other elements change over time. Our world has been cooler and warmer in the past. But today we are experiencing unprecedented rapid warming from human activities, primarily due to burning fossil fuels that generate greenhouse gas emissions. The whole scientific community is concerned about how climate change may affect fragile cultures and exposed biological beings. Physical and mental illnesses in humans can be caused both directly and indirectly by environmental factors such as warming temperatures, heat waves, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, droughts, fires, loss of forest, and glaciers, as well as the disappearance of rivers and deserts. Our mental health is in danger as we struggle with a warming climate and increasingly unpredictable weather. Human actions both contribute to and mitigate against global climate change. Numerous social and political initiatives centred on various aspects of fostering political will for climate change have an impact on the politics of today. This covers campaigns for fossil fuel industry divestment as well as the climate justice and youth climate movements. Through this paper, psychology of climate change along with political lens of climate change have been reviewed.
