本論文は、気候変動が精神的健康に与える影響を包括的に検討する。急性の気象災害や緩慢な環境変化が、不安、うつ、PTSD、エコ不安など多様な精神的健康問題を引き起こすことを示す。特に子どもや低所得コミュニティなどの脆弱層への影響が大きく、地域密着型の適応策の重要性を強調する。
English
This paper comprehensively examines the impacts of climate change on mental health. It shows that acute weather events and slow-onset environmental changes cause a range of mental health issues including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and eco-anxiety. It emphasizes the disproportionate effects on vulnerable populations such as children and low-income communities, and calls for community-based adaptation and integration of mental health into climate policies.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本の気候変動適応策では、熱中症など身体的健康への影響が重視されるが、精神的健康への影響は見過ごされがち。本論文は、日本でも考慮すべきエコ不安や災害関連ストレスへの政策的対応の重要性を示唆する。
In the global GX context
While global climate adaptation strategies increasingly address physical health, mental health impacts remain underexplored. This paper provides a framework for integrating psychosocial well-being into climate resilience planning, relevant for ISSB or TCFD's human capital considerations.

📄 Abstract（原文）
Climate change is increasingly recognised as a significant global health threat with profound implications for mental health and psychosocial well-being. This paper examines the complex and multidimensional relationship between climate change and mental health, drawing on emerging evidence from global studies, policy reports, and interdisciplinary research. It highlights how both acute climate-related events such as floods, wildfires, heatwaves, and storms and slowonset environmental changes, including drought, desertification, and sea-level rise, contribute to a wide spectrum of mental health outcomes. These range from clinically diagnosed conditions such as anxiety, depression, and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to emerging constructs such as eco-anxiety and solastalgia, which capture the emotional and existential distress associated with environmental degradation and uncertain futures. The paper further explores the key pathways through which climate change affects mental health, including direct exposure to disasters, indirect socio economic disruptions such as displacement and livelihood loss, and anticipatory stress linked to perceived future risks. Particular attention is given to populations that are disproportionately affected, including children and youth, low-incomecommunities, Indigenous populations, and frontline workers, who often face heightened exposure and limited adaptive capacity. Evidence reviewed in this study consistently demonstrates elevated levels of psychological distress among these groups, underscoring the inequitable burden of climate-related mental health impacts. In addition, the paper synthesises current evidence on interventions and policy responses, emphasising the importance of integrating mental health into climate adaptation, disaster preparedness, and health system strengthening. Community-based approaches, social support mechanisms, and climate-resilient health systems are identified as critical components for mitigating adverse mental health outcomes. However, significant research gaps remain, including limited longitudinal data, lack of stand ardised measurement tools, and insufficient evidence from low- and middle-income countries.
