Abstract:
Climate change threatens mental health through acute and chronic stressors. Vulnerable groups-especially children and people with disabilities-face increased risks due to developmental and structural inequities. Most mental health systems, built for individual care, lack capacity to address climate-related distress. This commentary outlines key mental health pathways and calls for a population-based approach. We highlight climate anxiety among youth and gaps in including neurodiverse populations in research and planning. Culturally grounded strategies-such as school-based support, community engagement, and integrating lived experience into policy-build resilience. We call for collaboration and evaluation of interventions aimed at addressing climate distress through community-driven systems.
