Description
Kristina Zeljic and colleagues write a 2026 perspective on climate change and youth mental health. The piece deals with poorer nations. Such nations face the worst climate harm. Yet their mental toll is likely undercounted. Most past work comes from rich nations.
A stark pattern drives the blind spot. Places most at risk have the least internet access. Surveys run online miss those places. Young people there live the crisis daily. Worry and strain can harm sleep and school work. The authors call for offline, local methods. Policies should rest on lived experience. Frontline voices must shape the response, they argue.
