Description
Lucas Murrins Marques proposes a mapping framework that pinpoints where city dwellers face the highest climate-related mental strain. The framework, Eco-Affective Health Mapping, joins environmental exposure, landscape shape, and emotional response data on one map.
City stressors such as heat, noise, pollution, and lost nature fall unevenly across neighbourhoods, and so do feelings like eco-anxiety and grief. By layering these signals, planners could spot vulnerability hotspots and aim mental health support where strain runs highest. The tool is built to work in data-poor settings too, including cities across the Global South. It treats climate emotions as public health signals that can be measured and mapped. Marques stresses the framework is a proposal awaiting real-world tests before it guides surveillance.
