About

This book explores how climate change affects mental health, especially in low-resource areas. It describes the unequal impacts on people in both high-income and low- to middle-income countries. The book uses a social justice lens to focus on people, places, and communities while including perspectives from the global North, South, and Indigenous peoples. It aims to bridge gaps in understanding mental health disparities caused by climate change and offers insights into addressing these issues effectively across different regions.
