Abstract There is an immediate lack of people-centred empirical evidence investigating how slow onset events influence human (im)mobility across the globe. This represents important knowledge gap that makes it difficult for climate policy to safeguard vulnerable populations (whether on move or left behind).

Climate change is undermining the mental and physical health of global populations, but question how it affecting substance-use behaviors has not been systematically examined. In this narrative synthesis, we find that climate could increase harmful substance use worldwide through at least five pathways: psychosocial stress arising from destabilization social, environmental, economic, geopolitical support systems; increased rates disorders; physical-health burden; incremental changes to established behavior patterns; worry about dangers unchecked change. These pathways operate independently, additively, interactively, cumulatively vulnerability. Young people face disproportionate risks because their high vulnerability mental-health problems disorders greater number life years ahead in which be exposed current worsening We suggest systems thinking developmental life-course approaches provide practical frameworks for conceptualizing relationship.

Abstract The academic literature on personal experiences of climate-induced wellbeing erosion (often conceptualised as ‘non-economic losses and damages’) is still limited. This represents a serious climate policy gap that hinders support for marginalised people across the world including Indigenous People. Lately, we have seen rapid growth in empirical studies exploring linkages between change mental health among Inuit Canada. However, its association with human (im)mobility remains unexplored. review article brings together evidence perceptions climate-related loss while providing guidance appropriate action. systematic investigates how Arctic Canada felt climatic changes impacted their putting these feelings into wider context colonial violence, forced child removal, residential schools, other rights abuses.

Fifteen selected articles analysed using NVivo thematic narrative analysis from climate-violence-health nexus systems approach. Three overarching themes, all strongly intertwined immobility, emerged namely ‘identity cultural loss’, ‘land connection source healing’, ‘changing environment triggering emotional distress’. narratives circled around land temporary interrupted this relationship.
