Building Mental Wellbeing and Resilience as Climate Leaders

​Are you a climate professional, leader, or innovator? Have you experienced burnout while working in the impact space? Join us!

​This session will focus on how climate professionals and leaders can remain resilient and shore up mental wellbeing in the current context of compounding pressures. We know that many sustainability leaders are experiencing burnout and anxiety driven by increased reporting requirements, potential budget cuts, fear of federal policy changes, and sorrow from active climate disasters, all while carrying the emotional burden of being the "climate" people.
