Proposal 1
Objective: The objective of this proposal is to explore the relationship between climate
change and the spread of infectious diseases and mental health. We aim to assess the
current state of knowledge about this relationship, including the mechanisms by which
climate change may be contributing to the emergence of new viruses and the impact
that this may have on mental health.
Implications: The results of our review will be valuable for public health and mental
health practitioners, policymakers, and other stakeholders who are interested in
understanding the impact of climate change on human health. By providing a
comprehensive overview of the relationship between climate change and infectious
diseases and mental health, we can help to inform efforts to mitigate the impact of
climate change and to protect the health and well-being of populations around the
world.
