Purpose of reviewIn this article, we outline an up-to-date overview of the climate change impact on mental health of urban population, conducted by searching the PubMed database for relevant studies published in the past 12–18 months, in English.Recent findingsClimate change is part of a larger systemic ecological problem in which human demands are exceeding the regenerative capacity of the biosphere. We are witnessing a ‘climate chaos’, a phase of instability and transformation, which is leading humans into a psychological condition of ‘systemic insecurity’ and a shared feeling of uncertainty. Currently, one of the places where our species is particularly exposed to climate change are cities, due to build-up in urban infrastructure, rapid and chaotic urbanization, high densities and recent rapid growth, social inequality, and ‘heat island effect’.The impact of climate change on cities exposes vulnerable groups to the worse mental health consequences. These groups include the homelessness, slum dwellers for whom the ‘neighbourhood effects’ are being discussed, climate refugees and migrants, young people, and finally those who assist these people.SummaryIn order to realize broader mental health prevention in cities exposed to climate change phenomena, public health approaches are needed. Institutions must avoid reinforcing inequalities among the more vulnerable groups or create new inequalities.

“…More specifically, subjective wellbeing refers to peoples' opinion and feelings of their surrounding natural environment that impact satisfaction on life and happiness ( 17 , 18 ), which is considered a key indicator defining quality of life ( 19 ). Along with subjective wellbeing, the intrinsic values (e.g., aesthetic, moral, and cultural values) of ecosystem services and the interactions between human and nature have a bearing upon psychological wellbeing of community people ( 13 , 20 , 21 ). It is evidence that direct and indirect contact with nature improves peoples' emotion, reduces stress, makes them feel more alive and cooperative, and thus improves psychological wellbeing of people ( 22 , 23 ).…”

Mangrove forests possess multiple functions for the environment and society through their valuable ecosystem services. Along with this, the mangrove forests have large and diverse social values, in combination contributing to the health and wellbeing of the surrounding communities. This study aims (i) to assess the benefits of mangrove forests and their impact on subjective and psychological wellbeing of coastal communities and (ii) to understand the challenges coastal communities face that limit sustainable wellbeing. We have used a mixed methodological approach, combining workshop, interview, and survey, to obtain qualitative and quantitative information from two coastal communities in Malaysia and Indonesia. For quantitative data, 67 participants from both coastal communities participated using a pre-tested structured questionnaire. To obtain opinions from key informants in Malaysia and Indonesia, we organized two stakeholders' workshops and community interviews. When merging these interviews and workshops, we identified the following three themes related to the perception of mangrove forest benefits: (1) the advantage of living in a natural countryside; (2) the natural resources supporting employment, income, and family security; and (3) the increase in subjective and psychological wellbeing. The mean score of wellbeing for Indonesian participants (28.6) was slightly higher than that for Malaysian participants (26.2) and was significant. Overall, the respondents felt happy because the combination of job security and leisure activities supports feeling content and satisfied. The analyses also suggest that the combination of exposure to coastal environments and stress reduction promotes good mental health; however, diagnostic health data are lacking. The lower score of mental wellbeing in Malaysia is attributed to respondents involved in risky fishing activities and local regions with excessive tourism. The findings from this study imply that coastal mangrove forest management plays an important role in the living conditions of coastal communities and their subjective and psychological wellbeing. Hence, restoration and sustainability of mangrove ecosystem are important.

Nowadays wellbeing has been closely related to development. The knot was tied in the Sustainable Development Goals. Wellbeing has been acknowledged as the third goals that need to be achieve by all of the member state. Countries need to assure that they provide good health and wellbeing to its people including for the coastal communities. Albeit the important role of wellbeing on sustainable development is recognize, however the relationship between psychological wellbeing and sustainable development between coastal communities is not widely explore. Therefore, aim of this study is to analyse the link between psychological wellbeing and sustainable development of coastal communities using literature review method to assess what has been found in previous study that link psychological wellbeing and sustainable development in the context of coastal communities and what things that need to improve in the future to advance the understanding of the relationship between psychological wellbeing and sustainable development. It is found that the study of the relationship between psychological wellbeing and sustainable development of coastal communities is still limited. Furthermore, psychological wellbeing is still not yet considered in the development of coastal community measurement. Therefore, psychological wellbeing should be integrated in sustainable development of coastal community measurement tool.
