Climate change effects on mental health: are there workplace implications?

ABSTRACT:

Background

Climate change can negatively affect mental health, and poor mental health can negatively affect work. However, less is known about the relationship between mental health and workplace behaviours within the climate change context.

Aims

To explore existing literature relating to climate-induced mental ill-health as a potential predictor of workplace behaviours.

Methods

Scoping review, searching five databases for relevant literature using two separate search strategies.

Results

Only five studies with any relevant data were found. Results could not be easily synthesized because each of the five considered different work-related outcomes. However, the available data suggest that the psychological impact of extreme events could lead to increased job tens
