This scoping study uses participatory engagement methods to better understand, explore and prioritise research questions, policy priorities and implementation activities around the impact of climate change on mental health of vulnerable communities. It has a particular focus on children and young people, especially those from underserved communities.
We have undertaken an umbrella review of reviews synthesising international literature, co-designed and delivered a public engagement workshop in Newham to explore the perceptions and attitudes of young carers around the impact of climate change on their mental health and wellbeing. We have also conducted stakeholder engagement with those working with young people to better understand research and policy priorities to co-design research, policy and implementation activities.
