The aim of this conference is to create a global platform for dialogue and exchange on the pressing issues at the intersection of human dignity, mental health, and climate change. We seek to bring together academics, mental health professionals, policymakers, and community leaders from around the world to share research, experiences, and perspectives on how dignity and humiliation impact psychological well-being, particularly in the context of environmental and social change. Across the globe, communities are facing unprecedented challenges due to climate change, environmental degradation, and shifting social dynamics. These factors not only threaten physical environments but also have profound effects on mental health and community resilience. The conference will explore how cycles of humiliation and threats to dignity can contribute to psychological distress, and how promoting dignity can serve as a foundation for mental health and social harmony. Special emphasis will be placed on the experiences of South Asian communities, where rapid environmental and societal changes are creating unique vulnerabilities. Through interactive sessions, academic presentations, and open discussions, participants will examine both local and global perspectives on these interconnected issues. By fostering open and respectful dialogue, this conference aims to advance understanding, inspire collaborative action, and identify strategies for supporting human dignity and mental health in the face of climate-related challenges. We believe that this gathering will have a lasting impact on all participants and contribute meaningfully to future research, policy development, and community initiatives.
