Suggest 'climate and mental health' books for a podcast

"We must reframe our understanding of the problem. Climate change is not the problem; climate change is the most horrible symptom of an economic system that has been built for a privileged few to extract every precious resource out of this planet and its people — from our natural resources to the fruits of our human labor."
Colette Pichon Battle, interviewed by Leah Penniman. Black Earth Wisdom: Soulful Conversations With Black Environmentalists. Amistad, 2023. Chapter: "Rising Waters."

Climate Psychology Alliance of North America tweets in January 2023: IDEAS WANTED: We are soon launching a new podcast in which we interview authors (fiction or non-fiction) who write about climate change and whose writing provides a good basis for talking about climate and mental health.  We’d love suggested books!

Here's that Grist list.

Also: "Climate Fiction Won't Save Us" As the world burns, readers increasingly look to climate fiction for hope, predictions, and actionable solutions. But can the genre really be a manual for useful change? Jeff VanderMeer, Esquire, April 19, 2023
