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].

Introduction Climate change is shaping adolescent and young people’s (AYP) transitions to adulthood with significant often compounding effects on their physical mental health. The climate crisis an intergenerational inequity, the current generation of people exposed more events over lifetime than any previous one. Despite this injustice, research policy date lacks AYP’s perspectives active engagement. Methods Participatory, youth co-led qualitative focus group discussions were held in Bangladesh, Guatemala Nigeria mid-2023. A total 196 AYP ages 12–25 years participated. Open-ended questions elicited responses regarding knowledge, experiences perceptions change. Using NVivo software, translated transcripts coded explore synthesise key thematic areas. Results Respondents discussed varied exposures associated health risks, for example, how flooding impeding access sexual reproductive commodities. Acute like cyclones increased perceived risk early marriage gender-based violence Bangladesh Guatemala. In Nigeria, respondents extreme heat, droughts shifting women into traditionally male roles agriculture income-generating activities, increasing household tensions violence. Commonly reported themes included impacts including or Another common theme was anxiety about change, its economic food insecurity communities feeling hopeless, lacking agency not supported by local institutions, all linked worse Conclusion Our results summarise perceive affecting health, finding similarities differences across these three settings. can inform development policies programmes that directly address needs a way inclusive responsive.
