Climate Change: Implications for Community Mental Health

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Textbook of Community Psychiatry

Abstract

Climate change has been identified as the biggest threat to global population health. Increasing heat waves, air pollution, extreme weather events, wildfires, droughts, vector-borne diseases, nutrition, and water scarcity driven by climate change will impact mental health directly and indirectly. Equally important will be the corresponding psychological responses to the instability and uncertainty of this environment. The disruptions to community health, disparate impacts on vulnerable populations, and overarching existential threat to human societies make climate change a particular concern for community psychiatrists. Thus, coordinating mitigation and adaptation solutions both locally and more broadly will be core tasks of the modern community psychiatrist. This chapter strives to outline the necessary knowledge to begin addressing community climate mental health impacts while also introducing both novel and well-known solutions actionable for the community psychiatrist.
