Climate-Related and Nature-Based Interventions for Mental Health

There is limited evidence for mental health interventions to reduce adverse mental health impacts of climatic impact drivers, but there is promising potential for future research in this field based on evidence from contexts other than climate change. Currently, strategies for mental health interventions in the context of climate change, such as those for implementing and scaling interventions, need to rely largely on global evidence from contexts other than climate change.

Abstract

There is limited evidence for mental health interventions to reduce adverse mental health impacts of climatic impact drivers, but there is promising potential for future research in this field based on evidence from contexts other than climate change. Currently, strategies for mental health interventions in the context of climate change, such as those for implementing and scaling interventions, need to rely largely on global evidence from contexts other than climate change.
