From heavy rains and hurricanes to prolonged droughts and extreme heat, the effects of climate change in Puerto Rico are becoming increasingly evident. For many, these alterations are of great concern, but there is still no study detailing their impact on the mental and emotional health of the island's population.

Faced with this reality, the organization Amigxs del M.A.R. launched “Enraizando ante la Crisis Climática,” a research project aimed at learning about the effects of environmental phenomena and government management on the thoughts, feelings and behavior of residents.
