Abstract

Relational practice is the foundation of mental health nursing. Being in relationship with the people we work with and for is central to our work, but have mental health nurses also considered their relationship with the planet? In 2020, a joint statement was signed by Australian health groups, calling on the government to recognize climate change in future health policy developments (ANMF, 2020). Internationally, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals released in 2015 is described as a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet (United Nations, 2015). The list of calls to action is long, global and urgent.

As advocates for human health and well-being, nurses have an opportunity to lead adaptation and mitigation efforts to promote planetary health. If we are to improve the relationship between nurses and the planet we need to consider, how we relate to the planet. This special edition brings together papers that will add to this urgent conversation and call to action.
