Climate change is reshaping public health, introducing extreme weather conditions and environmental stressors-such as high temperatures, atmospheric pollution, desertification, storms (rain, thunder, hail)-that critically impact mental health. Evidence increasingly links these factors to higher rates of suicide-related outcomes, including suicidal ideation, attempts, self-harm. Such interactions underscore the importance understanding how climate-driven health risks vary by factor gender, gender-specific vulnerabilities shape responses climate stressors. By April 16, 2024, we conducted a comprehensive search PubMed, Web Science, Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, Scopus, ProQuest, Embase. Two researchers independently reviewed studies collected demographic data, systematically tracking recording suicide deaths, self-harm, anxiety. Data were rigorously cross-verified for accuracy consistency. The meta-analysis demonstrated significant associations between variables outcomes. High temperatures air pollution linked increased attempts (OR: 1.40, 95% CI: 1.34-1.45) deaths 1.51, 1.44-1.58), particularly among males. Conversely, desertification correlated with reduced likelihood ideation 0.73, 0.63-0.85). These findings highlight impacts, females exhibiting anxiety underscoring urgent need targeted interventions addressing climate-induced risks. This systematic review reveal impacts change, experiencing anxiety, while males show greater incidences deaths. emphasize integration services into policies address gender disparities. study registered PROSPERO [PROSPERO (york.ac.uk)] under identifier [CRD42024534961].
