Funded Activity Summary

Ecological grief, wellbeing and resilience in the Great Barrier Reef . Adaptation to environmental change is a critical societal challenge that increasingly involves psycho-social factors such as ecological grief – the distress caused by loss of important environments. This project aims to understand how social factors such as place attachment and environmental values interact with broader environmental and institutional changes to shape community resilience to ecological grief in the Great Barrier Reef region. This will be the first comprehensive, interdisciplinary study to understand how ecological grief influences community wellbeing and identify local adaptation responses. The project will provide a basis for policy making that seeks to foster strong and resilient communities in Australia and globally.
