The impacts that climate change is having on human health are attracting growing amounts of attention. However, the mental health impacts of climate change have been traditionally neglected. The current talk will aim at providing a snapshot of the current emerging evidence on the relationship between climate change and mental health. It will also highlight gaps (focusing particularly on methodological shortcomings in the existing literature) and propose some possible ways forward.
