Abstract Although climate change is recognized as a threat to individual and global health and well-being, the climate crisis has not previously been explored within music therapy. This article presents music therapy’s engagement with the climate crisis as a disciplinary imperative and lays the initial foundation for such engagement. The responsibilities and roles of music therapists in this context are discussed with reference to the relevant literature and practices. The development of a new approach that directly addresses the climate crisis, eco music therapy, is proposed. Eco music therapy is presented as the intersection between the discipline and practice of music therapy and the climate crisis, including political, environmental, and cultural elements. Music therapists are invited to re-consider and re-configure their work at the individual, associational, and disciplinary levels—thereby contributing to a global multidisciplinary effort to mitigate the impacts of the climate crisis.

气候危机时代的音乐疗法：不断发展以满足当前需求

摘要尽管气候变化被认为是对个人和全球健康及福祉的威胁，但音乐疗法以前并未探讨气候危机。本文介绍了音乐疗法与气候危机的联系，这是学科的当务之急，并为这种参与奠定了最初的基础。在这种情况下，音乐治疗师的职责和角色将参考相关文献和实践进行讨论。建议开发一种直接解决气候危机的新方法，即生态音乐疗法。生态音乐疗法是音乐疗法的学科和实践与气候危机（包括政治，环境和文化因素）之间的交叉点。
