How to feel better about climate change | Ep 4 "Neurodiversity & sustainability"

A podcast exploring emotions, sustainability and positive action, with Professor Rosie Robison

Feeling overwhelmed by climate change? In this episode recorded for Mental Health Week 2026, ARU Professor of Social Sustainability Rosie Robison dives into the emotional side of our climate crisis, with a particular focus in this episode on the experiences of neurodivergent individuals. Joined by interdisciplinary sustainability scholar Dr Philippa Calver, climate communications consultant and ARU alumni Abigail Blake, and applied psychologist and advocate on neurodiversity issues Dr Nic Gibson, they explore how issues of systems complexity and social justice are central to sustainability discussions. Importantly, they ask - how can we support positive action by and for all?

By the end of the episode, you might just discover some surprising reasons to feel more positive. Dive deeper into these conversations on Rosie’s website https://www.begreenchange.com/.
