An event hosted last week by the Mental Health and Psycho-Social Support (MHPSS) Research Network at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) explored the mental health and psychosocial outcomes of people who have to leave where they live as a result of climate-related events.
Climate-related displacement is sometimes the result of dramatic individual events, such as flooding, wildfires or damage caused by extreme weather like a hurricane, but it can also be the result of slower changes to an area that create water or food insecurity.
Emmanuela Osei-Asemani presented the results of a systematic review of published research on the subject of mental health issues affecting environmental migrants.
