Climate change, technology, and mental health: Asian perspectives

Climate change, technology and mental health: asian perpectives

The literature from Asia on climate change, technology, and mental health is limited, and there is a need to raise awareness, develop policies and technological applications, and establish multistakeholder collaboration networks in this field.

The starting point for this presentation is the limited literature from Asia on climate change, technology, and mental health; its aim is to raise awareness of this topic from an Asian perspective. The stated objectives are to offer insights into the impact of climate change on mental health, psychiatric disorders, and psychological problems; provide perspectives on the role of technology in climate change and mental health; and discuss applications in conflict management and resolution settings, the EDIT approach, policy, and multistakeholder dimensions. The symposium presentation will address the impact of climate change on mental health in Asian countries, discuss the interaction of climate change with psychiatric disorders and psychological problems, and highlight the neurodevelopmental and neurobiological aspects of the topic. Applications of technology in education, diagnosis, research, and service development in this field will be presented, and the need for innovation, strategic development, policy considerations, and multistakeholder collaboration will be emphasized. The EDIT approach (Equality, Development, Inclusion and Transcultural), which focuses on equality, development, inclusion, and transcultural perspectives, will be integrated into the presentation. The presentation will conclude with a call to establish networks in the field of climate change, technology, and mental health.
