As the world grapples with the repercussions of climate change, the consequences for physical and mental health have become more salient. Climate mental health unifies multidisciplinary approaches, including climate science, psychiatry and psychology, to inform and shape public policy and action to mitigate the negative effects of climate change on mental health.The changing patterns of climate, both directly and indirectly shaping extreme weather events, are costly phenomena. A recent estimate placed the global economic toll at US $143 billion annually. Increasingly, academic research papers and governmental reports have expanded to include the implications for physical and mental health in costs of disasters.
