“…Youth were holding school strikes, highlighting concerns about the climate, and making a call to be heard and taken seriously by authorities around the world [22,30]. It was also reported that youth are advocating for themselves to be included in conversations of ecological degradation and human-induced destruction and extraction [4,22]. Noronha et al [31] discussed resistance factors for Indigenous youth regarding the climate crisis, including culture, language, personal agency, and participating in traditional ceremony.…”

“…The climate crisis is a well-documented and urgent planetary health phenomenon and has been described as one of the greatest threats to human health in modern times, with significant effects on the mental health of young people as it is their future that is at risk [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Protecting adolescent and youth mental health while promoting positive youth development is important for the survival of all human beings, especially in the face of various societal issues such as the climate crisis [8].…”

The climate crisis has resulted in mental health challenges for varying demographic groups of all ages, but Indigenous youth are one of the most vulnerable populations impacted by the climate crisis. Conversations regarding Indigenous youth and the climate crisis are often held without their presence or input, identifying a gap in research and the literature. The findings from this review include the components of climate change regarding the mental health of Indigenous youth as being direct and indirect pathways of impact and resistance. Direct pathways include the more immediate and physical consequences of climate change associated with mental unwellness. Indirect pathways include less obvious consequences to those without lived experience, such as disruptions to culture and magnified social inequities, which also result in negative mental health consequences. The resistance component explores how Indigenous youth have been protesting and actively speaking out, which highlights the importance of the inclusion of Indigenous youth voices in decision-making spaces related to mental health service resources (i.e., funding) and policy in climate action. This review ends with a discussion on ways forward, the limitations herein, and how the uniqueness of the research may contribute to climate justice.

“…Climate change happens for two reasons: the natural causes which happened at long-term period and the causes related to human activities. According to the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), most heat observed over the last 50 years can be attributed to human activities(McMichael 2003 ; Nesmith et al 2021 ; Besley and Peters 2020 ). These changes have caused many environmental problems affecting human health; some are the depletion of the ozone layer, the spread of infectious diseases, pressures on natural resources, and freshwater scarcity (Organization 2008 ; McMichael et al 2003 ; Norval et al 2007 ; Kinney 2018 ).…”

Perception of climate change effects on water resources: Iraqi undergraduates as a case study

et al. 2022

Developing countries suffer from the effects of climate change on water resources more than other countries. This paper aims to specify the undergraduates’ knowledge about climate change effects on water resources. This study was conducted through a questionnaire distributed using Google form in May 2021. Descriptive analysis was used to display the level of awareness, and then the correlation between the respondents’ gender, stage, and scientific specialization were analyzed. The results showed that the general knowledge for all questionaries ranged between 40 and 50 %. Moreover, a weak positive correlation with the highest Spearman’s rho of 0.15 was shown for the students’ gender with their understanding of climate change main cause by 0.06 for the academic stage versus knowledge of climate change causes. Moreover, the results indicated a weak role for university education in exchange for a prominent role for television and social media in raising awareness. The research recommends integrating the Environmental Education (EE) programs into the Iraqi educational systems as it proposes a systematic educational method through which climate change and other environmental problems may be addressed holistically at all educational levels.

The aim of our paper is economic vulnerability assessment in the water sector of Montenegro, with a focus on electricity production in hydropower plants. The absence of an officially defined methodology in Montenegro, as well as in the region of South-East Europe represents a kind of challenge for research of this type especially for the assessment of economic damage caused by climate change and in the future period. In our paper, we treated negative impacts in the water sector as additional costs for the import of electricity due to reduced electricity production caused by the reduction of water potential due to climate change. After collecting, processing and analyzing data on electricity production in Montenegro, we prepared a projection of this production in the future period for the basic scenario - “without climate change”. This was followed by an assessment of the quantitative damage, in accordance with the determined climate scenarios. After analyzing electricity prices in the European market, we defined future unit were defined as a basis for damage assessment. We conclude the paper with the calculation and projection of economic damages caused by climate change in the Montenegrin energy sector. The basic variant of the analysis would be the existing price of electricity imports for 2022, in the amount of 200 EUR per MWh. The other two variants would be one higher and one lower electricity import prices (250 and 150 EUR per MWh, respectively), in order to gain an overview of the future price fluctuations in a certain way.
