Although several empirical studies and systematic reviews have documented the mental health impacts of global climate change, the range of impacts has not been well understood. This review examines mental health impacts of three types of climate-related events: (1) acute events such as hurricanes, floods, and wildfires; (2) subacute or long-term changes such as drought and heat stress; and (3) the existential threat of long-lasting changes, including higher temperatures, rising sea levels and a permanently altered and potentially uninhabitable physical environment. The impacts represent both direct (i.e. heat stress) and indirect (i.e. economic loss, threats to health and well-being, displacement and forced migration, collective violence and civil conflict, and alienation from a degraded environment) consequences of global climate change.
尽管有几项实证研究和系统评价记录了全球气候变化对心理健康的影响，但人们对影响的范围仍了解不足。本综述考察了与气候相关的三类事件对心理健康的影响：(1) 飓风、洪水和野火等急性事件；(2) 干旱和热应激等亚急性或长期变化；以及(3) 包括更高的温度、海平面上升以及物理环境永久改变和可能无法居住等持久变化的生存威胁。这些影响既包括全球气候变化的直接后果（如热应激），也包括间接后果（如经济损失、对健康和福祉的威胁、流离失所和被迫迁移、集体暴力和国内冲突以及对退化环境的疏远）。
