I truly believe that the challenges that humans are faced with today, due to the effects of global warming etc. will be exaggerated considerably in the years to come. Your work is so valuable in making sure that awareness is created about these effects on the human psyche. Only then can we do something about it. This is particularly so in the African context! Thank you too for your kind offer of assistance; I will definitely take you up on that!

I am now at Murdoch University in Perth, Western Australia and I am continuing my work on what I call 'psychoterratic' or earth related mental health issues from my new base in the School of Sustainability. Climate change in Africa has the potential to deliver huge psychoterratic distress to millions of people and the sooner we realise this and work towards its prevention .... the better. I write about solastalgia in the hope that we can all work together to counter it. I am now working on a new political concept, 'soliphilia' , which is all about the solidarity we need as a global and interconnected humanity to overcome the forces that are destroying foundational sustainability. All power (clean, safe and renewable) to you in your work and if there is anything I can do to help take it as given.
