Climate change is already having unequal effects on the mental health of individuals and communities and will increasingly compound pre-existing mental health inequalities globally. Psychiatrists have a vital part to play in improving both awareness and scientific understanding of structural mechanisms that perpetuate these inequalities, and in responding to global calls for action to promote climate justice and resilience, which are central foundations for good mental and physical health.
气候变化已经对个人和社区的心理健康产生了不平等的影响,并且将在全球范围内日益加剧现有的心理健康不平等状况。精神科医生在提高对使这些不平等长期存在的结构机制的认识和科学理解方面,以及在响应全球促进气候正义和恢复力的行动呼吁方面发挥着至关重要的作用,而气候正义和恢复力是良好身心健康的核心基础。
