Objective: This scoping review aims to map the knowledge gap on mental health – mobilities – climate change nexus. This will allow us to better understand how people cope with their mental health outcomes in a context of a changing climate and their (im)mobilities. Introduction: Mental health related to climate change and (im)mobilities is an emerging field. If more knowledge has been cumulated on the climate change – migration and physical health nexus, there is still a lack of evidence on the relationship between mental health – climate change – mobilities, especially in the case of slow-onset events. Some researchers perceived mobility as an opportunity to adapt to environmental changes as well as a risk factor for developing mental health issues.The underlying causal pathways are yet to be clarified to include the diversity of mobility (seasonal, immobility, planned, constraints, etc.) related to environmental change and their mental health impacts. Inclusion criteria: Inclusion criteria for papers would be: 1) All types of papers: peer-reviewed, non-reviewed, comments and grey literature; 2) focused on the nexus of mental health – climate change – (im)mobilities; 3) published in English, French, Spanish and Bengali; and 4) publishedfrom the 1st January of 2000 to the 31stof August 2022 which correspond to the most prolific period of publication related to our subject.All papers that do not meet the inclusion criteria will be excluded. Methods: We will conduct a review from three academic search engines (PubMed, WebofSciences, Dimensions.ai) and add manually papers from grey literature, blogs and comments. We will follow the JBI recommendations to select, extract and analyse the evidence based on a thematic approach with the Mixed-Method Appraisal Tool. Three academic databases will be searched. Grey literature, blogs and comment will be added manually.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
