Thrive LDN’s Climate and Mental Health Partnership

Thrive LDN is a citywide public mental health partnership working to ensure all Londoners have an equal opportunity for good mental health and wellbeing. We provide system leadership, connect communities with decision-makers, and support equitable change.

In 2024-25, Thrive LDN made the case for coordinated action across climate, nature, and mental health, which was endorsed by London’s senior health and social care leaders. This led to the creation of our Climate and Mental Health Partnership in April 2024, which aims to enable all Londoners, especially marginalised and vulnerable groups, to take meaningful climate action while improving mental health.

As part of this work, we launched our Climate and Mental Health Forum, supported by a wide range of stakeholders and partners. The Forum now has a membership of almost 230 people across local government, public health, youth, arts, the environmental sector, academia, and more.

We look forward to seeing you at this meeting!
