Abstract

By 2050, more than 250 million people will have to relocate because of anthropogenic phenomena such as sea-level rise, drought, and intensified weather events. Despite the advancing onset of climate change and climate-drive migration, research on the mental health (MH) experiences of environmental migrants (EM) are limited and mostly focused on Pacific Island communities. Therefore, this mixed-methods cross-sectional study aims to identify the MH experiences that adult EM experience as a result of their relocation in comparison to other forced displaced migrants (FDMs) while also synthesizing what these migrants report should be done to improve MH service
