Climate change is also dangerous for people's mental health

New Delhi, Rajkot, Ta. 13

Climate change has long been considered a threat to the environment, but according to a recent report by the World Health Organization, climate change is also becoming a threat to people's mental health. This has led to an increase in anxiety, depression, depression and suicidal tendencies. As a result, the WHO has called on all countries to include mental health assistance in their national plans to tackle climate change and to introduce new policies. "Climate change poses a serious threat to people's mental health and well-being," Hu said.

Seminars are being held all over the world in the name of climate change but now this is not only destroying crops or natural, material resources but also deteriorating the mental health of the entire population. The World Health Organization (WHO) has unveiled a new policy at the Stockholm 20 conference, calling climate change a serious threat to people's mental health.

A report published in February by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states that climate change is seriously affecting people's mental health. The agency provides scientific information to countries on climate change policies. A study by the IPCC found that rapid climate change is increasing the risk to mental health and psychological well-being, ranging from emotional stress to anxiety, depression, depression and suicidal tendencies.

India has experienced unprecedented heatwaves this year and has adversely affected various crops, including wheat. The highest temperatures have been recorded in the last twenty years and this climate change is causing serious damage not only to the property but also to the mental health of the people due to natural calamities like agriculture or hurricanes. This puts people at risk of developing mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety (which fuels diseases including BP, diabetes, cancer), suicidal thoughts or violence. It is estimated that the mental health of about 100 million people worldwide has deteriorated.

Director of the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Health at the World Health Organization. "The effects of climate change are rapidly becoming part of our daily lives and there is little mental health help available to people and communities facing climate-related disasters and long-term risks," said Maria Nira. Of the nine countries surveyed during 2021, only nine countries have included mental health and psychological support in their national health and climate change plans.

Pollution is on the rise in metros and dangerous improvements in GDCR, which has increased urban density in Gujarat, have led to an increase in the number of concrete forests in narrow streets. By leaving a deposit of Rs.500 per tree, any complex can get approval without a tree. Pollution such as tree felling, Aji, Bhadar to Sabarmati living on pollution paper, pollution from PUC law, smoke emission from vehicles emitting sulfur dioxide carbon is constantly increasing.

At present, this serious matter is taken lightly in the world, only 4 out of 5 countries in the world are concerned about the mental health of the people, they have planned to give them psychological support, then only 3% of the total budget is allocated for mental health. In India, environment has been given importance since ancient times. Even in Shivpuran, planting trees, constructing reservoirs is considered as a good deed. In works.
