Climate change, mental health, and reproductive decision-making: A systematic review

Description

Concerns about climate change impair mental health, with significant implications for childbearing decision-making. These are the conclusions of a recent synthesizing study, based on data primarily from the Global North including several European countries. Climate change concerns were typically associated with less positive attitudes towards reproduction and a desire/intent for fewer children or none at all.
