This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Does climate change impact mental health and wellbeing? This TEDxCapeBreton Talk by Ashlee Cunsolo Willox explores that theme among the Inuit in Nunatsiavut, Labrador and examines how changes in the land, climate, and environment are affecting livelihoods and cultural activities.

Ashlee is passionate about the environment and about exploring how our connections to place shape who we are. As part of her deep desire to understand the relationships among place, culture, health, and environment, Ashlee has been working collaboratively with Inuit friends in Nunatsiavut, Labrador to examine how changes in the land, climate, and environment are affecting livelihoods and mental health.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
