Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

28.2K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

20.2K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Dimensions of Health and Illness

9.4K
The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

15.2K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Threats to Biodiversity

26.1K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Impact of Social Context on Individuals01:21

Impact of Social Context on Individuals

194
Social psychology examines how the real or imagined presence of others influences individuals' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A key concept in this field is the role of social context in shaping behavior. The same individual may act differently depending on the social setting, due to the varying expectations and norms associated with each environment. This context-dependent behavior illustrates the influence of social roles, which prescribe appropriate conduct in specific situations.Social...

Summary

Climate change significantly impacts homeless populations, exacerbating health and social issues. Current research is insufficient for effective risk mitigation and response planning, necessitating a systems approach.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Homelessness is a global issue with severe health consequences.
  • Homeless individuals face heightened exposure to extreme weather and climate variability.
  • Climate change poses significant risks to vulnerable populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize academic literature on the health and social implications of global climate change for homelessness.
  • To assess the current state of knowledge regarding climate change impacts on homeless populations.
  • To identify gaps in research for risk mitigation and response planning.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic scoping review of peer-reviewed literature.
  • Searched databases: PsycINFO, Medline, Scopus, and Google Scholar.
  • Identified and synthesized 26 relevant papers, with 20 using original data analysis.

Main Results:

  • Climate change may influence homelessness prevalence.
  • Climate impacts exacerbate vulnerabilities (chronic illness, exposure, stigmatization) in homeless populations.
  • Identified themes include health/social outcomes and service use/design implications.

Conclusions:

  • The current body of literature is underdeveloped for informing climate change adaptation strategies for homelessness.
  • Existing research, often based on cross-sectional data, highlights significant risks.
  • A proposed systems framework can guide future research and service design for climate resilience in homeless populations.
