摘要
气候变化是21世纪全球公共卫生面临的最重大威胁之一,影响着生态系统、粮食系统和心理健康。预计到2030年,气候变化每年将导致70万人死亡,到2050年,由于碳(IV)氧化物浓度升高,蛋白质短缺病例将增加1.5亿,导致14亿人缺乏蛋白质。本叙述性综述旨在通过全面收集同行评议文献和全球报告,揭示气候引起的粮食不安全与心理健康结果之间复杂的相互作用。方法对2012年1月1日至2025年2月31日期间Web of Science、Scopus、Science Direct、PubMed、谷歌Scholar等相关关键词进行全面检索。联合国、世界卫生组织和粮食及农业组织等政府间机构的报告也包括在内。数据按主题进行分析,并以叙事顺序同时讨论,使用各种较小的部分,表格和数字,以提高可读性和流畅性。结果:全球变暖对粮食系统、作物营养价值以及渔业和动物生产力的影响加剧了饥饿。全球变暖使一些地区的海鱼产量下降了35%,并导致超过10亿人面临微量营养素缺乏的风险。粮食不安全影响多达8.28亿人;一些地区的海洋生产力下降了4 - 35%。气候引发的洪水、干旱和极端天气加剧了粮食不安全,直接影响心理健康。抑郁、焦虑、生态悲伤和自杀意念在小农和流离失所人口等弱势群体中更为普遍。有效的干预措施包括绿色基础设施、农业生态做法和加强心理健康服务。应对气候变化、饥饿和心理健康等相互交织的危机需要综合政策、跨学科合作和全球团结。适应当地情况的干预措施和了解心理健康的复原力框架对于减少脆弱性和确保可持续福祉至关重要。
Strategies for resilience: Mitigating the effects of climate change on hunger and mental health
Objectives
Climate change is one of the most significant threats to global public health in the 21st century, affecting ecosystems, food systems, and psychological well-being. Climate change is predicted to cause 700,000 annual deaths by 2030, and by 2050, 150 million more protein shortage cases due to higher carbon (IV) oxide concentrations, resulting in 1.4 billion protein-deficient individuals. This narrative review aims to unravel the complex interactions between climate-induced food insecurity and mental health outcomes by thoroughly gathering peer-reviewed literature and global reports.
Method
A thorough search was conducted across Web of Science, Scopus, Science Direct, PubMed, and Google Scholar from January 01, 2012 to February 31, 2025 using relevant keywords. Reports from intergovernmental bodies such as the United Nations, World Health Organisation, and the Food and Agriculture Organisation were also included. Data were thematically analyzed and discussed simultaneously in a narrative order using various smaller sections, tables and figures to enhance readability and flow.
Results
Global warming's impacts on food systems, crop nutritional value, and fisheries and animal productivity exacerbate hunger. Global warming has decreased marine fish productivity by up to 35 % in some regions and contributed to micronutrient deficiency risks for over one billion people. Food insecurity affected up to 828 million people; marine productivity declined by 4–35 % in some regions. Food insecurity, exacerbated by climate-induced floods, droughts, and extreme weather, directly impacts mental health. Depression, anxiety, eco-grief, and suicidal ideation are more prevalent in vulnerable groups such as smallholder farmers and displaced populations. Effective interventions include green infrastructure, agroecological practices, and strengthened mental health services.
Conclusion
Addressing the intersecting crises of climate change, hunger, and mental health requires integrated policies, interdisciplinary collaboration, and global solidarity. Locally adapted interventions and mental health-informed resilience frameworks are crucial to reducing vulnerability and ensuring sustainable well-being.
