Climate anxiety and public health: a scoping review on systemic inequality, climate justice, and vulnerable groups

This scoping review aims to map the relationship between climate anxiety and public health, with a particular focus on systemic inequalities, climate justice, and vulnerable groups (such as young people, indigenous communities, and climate migrants). Following the PRISMA-ScR protocol, this study synthesises empirical and theoretical evidence published between January 2020 and January 2026 to provide actionable public health policy recommendations.
