“…In period 2, Ahmed et al ( 2021 ) investigated the effect of extreme weather events on injury, disability, and death in Bangladesh. Arman, Salam Shaoli and Hossain ( 2022 ) looked into mental health and climate change in the same country. Thus, Morris et al ( 2018 ) looked at disability and climate change from an extreme weather event within the political determinants for persons with disabilities after assessing disaster risk in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico-Brazil.…”

Background: Climate change and disability are rarely addressed by academic scholars within the spectrum of disabilities and as a single field of study. However, the intersectionality of disability exacerbates the vulnerability of people with disabilities to climate change as climate change frameworks in the Global North and South continue excluding them.Objectives: This study aims to map the research-based knowledge housed in Scopus on disability and climate change. At the same time, it provides insights into innovative (novelty) ways of thinking and proposes a futuristic research agenda.Method: A bibliometric analysis was conducted on Scopus-indexed articles using VOSviewer to map co-occurrences of keywords and co-authorship, and a manual thematic-scoping review augmented the data analysis.Results: The disability and climate change debate as a joint study evolved from concern among health practitioners to human rights and social inclusion.Conclusion: In conclusion, there is a skewness towards mental health and medical sociology lens, while other sub-groups of persons with disabilities are yet to be engaged in co-creating disability-inclusive climate change knowledge.Contribution: Thematic areas emerged as gaps that future studies embed principles enshrined in the United Nations Convention for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Sustainable Development Goals.

“…Coastal areas (including river deltas and islands) has been proved to be at a high risk for climate events: change in temperature, change in rain distribution, sea level rising, flooding, coastal erosion, loss of biodiversity [26,27,28 ▪▪ ,29]. Well known examples are Chinese coastal cities (including Shanghai), cities in Indonesia (e.g.…”

Purpose of reviewIn this article, we outline an up-to-date overview of the climate change impact on mental health of urban population, conducted by searching the PubMed database for relevant studies published in the past 12–18 months, in English.Recent findingsClimate change is part of a larger systemic ecological problem in which human demands are exceeding the regenerative capacity of the biosphere. We are witnessing a ‘climate chaos’, a phase of instability and transformation, which is leading humans into a psychological condition of ‘systemic insecurity’ and a shared feeling of uncertainty. Currently, one of the places where our species is particularly exposed to climate change are cities, due to build-up in urban infrastructure, rapid and chaotic urbanization, high densities and recent rapid growth, social inequality, and ‘heat island effect’.The impact of climate change on cities exposes vulnerable groups to the worse mental health consequences. These groups include the homelessness, slum dwellers for whom the ‘neighbourhood effects’ are being discussed, climate refugees and migrants, young people, and finally those who assist these people.SummaryIn order to realize broader mental health prevention in cities exposed to climate change phenomena, public health approaches are needed. Institutions must avoid reinforcing inequalities among the more vulnerable groups or create new inequalities.

“…In the Philippines, for example, mental health professionals are developing training and education, capacity building strategies and plans for systemic change to adequately tackle the mental health needs resulting from the climate emergency 17. Bangladesh, too, is an exemplar, having developed its national Crisis Preparedness and Management for Mental Health plan to build resilience in its population and ecosystems 1819. The UK is arguably also a leader in this regard, with the NHS becoming the first national health system to embed net zero into legislation 20.…”
