Ecological grief, wellbeing and resilience in the Great Barrier Reef

适应环境变化是一项重大的社会挑战，其中越来越多地涉及到心理社会因素，如生态悲痛-丧失重要环境造成的痛苦。该项目旨在了解地方依恋和环境价值等社会因素如何与更广泛的环境和制度变化相互作用，以塑造大堡礁地区社区对生态灾难的适应力。这将是第一个全面的跨学科研究，以了解生态悲伤如何影响社区福祉，并确定当地的适应反应。该项目将为政策制定提供基础，旨在促进澳大利亚和全球强大和有复原力的社区。

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.
