INTERVIEW ︎

“It is such a devastating life story that it is bewildering to meet Hertzog Young, now 31, and find him smiling broadly and looking the picture of health in his small flat beside a busy road in north London. He radiates calm and good vibes. Softly spoken and extremely eloquent, he remains a climate campaigner and has written his first book. Spinning Out is a powerful elucidation of the links between the climate crisis, mental health and social change. Like encountering its author, it is an unexpectedly uplifting experience.”

Preventing Breakdown

The Ecologist

Climate breakdown is pervasive, mysterious and refracting: incomprehensible to any single being. But we don’t need to fully understand something…for it to affect the way we think, feel and experience the world. Climate change has undeniable and severe impacts on the mind.
