Further Study Necessary on Chronic and Acute-Onset Climate Disasters and the Relation to Mental Health and Resilience

The research on climate change-related natural disasters has reached a general consensus on the mental health factors that climate change affects. Terms like eco-anxiety, climate anxiety, and climate-related grief (among others) have been coined to describe the mental health impacts that climate change-related disasters can cause. While a general consensus has been reached, trajectory models and longitudinal studies should be performed consistently on both acute-onset and chronic climate change disasters in order to get a better picture both of psychological distress from these events and the resilience often reported in populations that are continually plagued by these events.
