Mental health professionals (MHPs) have roles supporting mitigation, preparation, and recovery in the global climate crisis. This commentary describes initiatives in the Caribbean to address climate-related threats to individuals and communities focussing on the role of MHPs in supporting community-based projects, regional public health disaster responses, and climate research.
