Climate Action and Global Psychology

By Global Psychology Alliance

Climate Action and Global Psychology offers a unique, multi-national perspective on organised psychology’s nascent collaborative efforts to address the world’s climate crisis.

This volume is a combination of theoretical and empirical work, varying according to section and topic. Leadership models related to major global crises like climate tend to be more theoretical, while chapters on projects in specific countries are more empirically oriented. The efforts of global psychology and its constituent professional organisations must address the need to understand the imminent threats posed for Indigenous peoples by climate change and seek ways to ensure psychology empowers and supports the actions of their people.

Sustainable development in the European Union — Monitoring report on progress towards the SDGs in an EU context — 2022 edition

Eurostat

Sustainable development is firmly anchored in the European Treaties and has been at the heart of European policy for a long time. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted by the UN General Assembly in September 2015, have given a new impetus to global efforts for achieving sustainable development. The EU is fully committed to playing an active role in helping to maximise progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals. This publication is the sixth of Eurostat’s regular reports monitoring progress towards the SDGs in an EU context. The analysis in this publication builds on the EU SDG indicator set, developed in cooperation with a large number of stakeholders. The indicator set comprises around 100 indicators and is structured along the 17 SDGs. For each SDG, it focuses on aspects that are relevant from an EU perspective. The monitoring report provides a statistical presentation of trends relating to the SDGs in the EU over the past five years (‘short-term’) and, when sufficient data are available, over the past 15 years (‘long-term’). The indicator trends are described on the basis of a set of specific quantitative rules. This 2022 edition also analyses the COVID-19 pandemic’s impacts during 2020, 2021 and the beginning of 2022 that are visible in Eurostat’s official statistics.

WHO Guidelines on mental health at work

World Health Organization publications | 28 September 2022

An estimated 15% of working-age adults have a mental disorder at any point in time. Depression and anxiety are estimated to cost the global economy US $1 trillion each year driven predominantly by lost productivity. People living with severe mental health conditions are largely excluded from work despite participation in economic activities being important for recovery. The WHO guidelines on mental health at work provide evidence-based recommendations to promote mental health, prevent mental health conditions, and enable people living with mental health conditions to participate and thrive in work. The recommendations cover organizational interventions, manager training and worker training, individual interventions, return to work, and gaining employment. The guidelines on mental health at work aim to improve the implementation of evidence-based interventions for mental health at work.
