Mental Health and Climate Change: Policy Brief

This WHO policy brief outlines how climate change intensifies social, environmental, and economic risk factors for mental health and psychosocial wellbeing, while large gaps remain between mental health needs and available services worldwide. It proposes five recommendations: integrating climate considerations into mental health policy, embedding psychosocial support within climate and health strategies, building on existing global commitments, implementing multisectoral and community-based approaches, and closing funding gaps for mental health and climate-related responses.
