CLIMATE-SMART ECONOMICS

FOR RESILIENT MINDS

AND SUSTAINABLE FUTURES

MENTAL WELLNESS

Refers to the state of well-being where an individual can cope with the normal stresses of life, work productively, and contribute to their community. It involves emotional, psychological, and social well-being. Achieving mental wellness is important because it impacts how people think, feel, and act, as well as how they handle stress, relate to others, and make choices

CLIMATE CHANGE

Refers to long-term changes in temperature, precipitation, and other atmospheric patterns on Earth. While the planet’s climate has naturally fluctuated over millions of years, the current phase of climate change is largely driven by human activities, particularly the release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat, leading to a warming of the Earth's surface—a phenomenon commonly known as global warming.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Refers to the concept of meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. It integrates environmental, social, and economic dimensions to ensure long-term prosperity and equity for all people. Sustainable development aims to balance human well-being with the health of the planet, acknowledging that economic growth, environmental protection, and social inclusion must be pursued together.

CLIMATE
ECONOMICS

This is the study of the economic aspects of climate change, particularly how the impacts of climate change affect economies and how economic tools and policies can mitigate or adapt to those effects. It combines economic theory with environmental science to address the costs and benefits of climate change actions, the financial implications of environmental policies, and the potential for sustainable economic growth in a changing climate.
