Unthinkable
The Unthinkable Resource Hub is a curated online library exploring the intersection of climate change, mental health, and emotional wellbeing. Created by Unthinkable, the hub brings together evidence-informed resources that help people understand and respond to experiences such as climate anxiety, ecological grief, eco-distress, burnout, and uncertainty about the future.
The Resource Hub gathers books, articles, podcasts, videos, courses, organizations, support groups, and practical guides from researchers, mental health professionals, educators, activists, and practitioners working in the growing field of climate mental health.

Their short self-assessment helps users identify the types of resources that may be most relevant to their experiences. Based on the results, users receive a personalized collection of free resources focused on emotional support, learning, and practical next steps.
The collection includes resources from organizations such as the Climate Mental Health Network, Climate Psychology Alliance, Good Grief Network, Climate Cares Centre, Psychology for a Safe Climate, and many others. It also highlights books and articles from leading voices in climate psychology, psychiatry, theology, and environmental justice.
While the Resource Hub is intended for anyone experiencing climate-related distress, it may also be valuable for pastors, chaplains, educators, counsellors, and congregational leaders who are supporting people as environmental concerns increasingly become part of pastoral conversations. The breadth of the collection makes it a useful starting point for learning about climate emotions, building resilience, and finding additional organizations and communities working in this emerging field.
