Mindfulness Policy Research. The Mindfulness Initiative is an established policy research institution from the UK and Sweden. It will conduct research on how mindfulness training can influence the mindsets and paradigms that underpin attitudes to the environment and related solutions. It believes mindfulness training can do this by generating a shift from atomistic to holistic perspectives, increasing the ability to cope amid climate impacts, and by supporting change for sustainability. Research will be conducted through a synthesis of current research, interviews, and consultations. The results of the research will be compiled into a policy report, with content for mainstream media and video, and policy recommendations to government. Beneficiaries: Ultimately all planetary life; political leaders and policy makers; thought leaders; academics and journalists; activists; mindfulness teachers, writers and scholars; individuals suffering from mental health implications of the climate crisis.
