This research aims to explore how arts-based approaches can address the intersections of climate change and mental health.
Conducted a scoping review of existing literature on arts-based interventions in relation to climate change and mental health.
Identified themes around diverse ways of knowing and systems thinking required to understand the issues.
Found that arts-based approaches can enhance understanding of climate impacts on mental health.
Highlighted the need for systems thinking to address root causes of climate change and human suffering.
Abstract
We recommend that future research accommodates multiple "ways of knowing" and embraces the systems thinking required to address the root causes of climate change, and attendant human suffering.
