Organised by the Coalition for Mental Health and Wellbeing in the European Parliament, MHE and the Institute for European Environmental Policy (IEEP) the event took place online on 27 January 2021 from 10:30 – 12:00 CET.

The discussion focused on how to reflect the interlinkage between the state of the natural environment and people’s mental health in European policies. On top of that, the event saw the official launch of the mental health and environment policy paper and a policy brief by the IEEP and Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal).

The event brought together the European Parliament Coalition for Mental Health and Wellbeing and other interested MEPs, European Commission (including DG ENV), Member States’ permanent representations, and other relevant stakeholders from environment and health sectors.
