Climate Change and Mental Health: Systems Models for Understanding and Responding

Cybele Dey, Rhonda Dixon-Grovenor, Kay Wilhelm

This paper examines systems models proposed for climate change and mental health through a systematic review of the evidence using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta method and feedback from an Indigenous Elder, knowledge bearer and co-author (Aunty Rhonda Dixon-Grovenor). While published systems models of climate change and mental health are relatively recent, markedly increasing since 2020, Indigenous cultural knowledge that exists for thousands of years helps understand the interconnectedness and interdependence of human mental health and nature.
