New research out on tracking #climatechange & #health research in #NorthAmerica since #IPCC AR5. Important trends & gaps to consider. Check out this thread.

Given these research gaps, we call for more transdisciplinary & cross-sector work, that includes social sciences, to examine #climatehealth #adaptation #mitigation & adaptation-mitigation, given the urgent need for evidence to inform climate action

We saw progress in #climatehealth projections- but projections are nascent for many #ClimateHealth outcomes & would benefit from modelling social variables

Most research examined #climatechange impacts- much less examined #adapation & #mitigation

Research #inequities exist, including research gaps in Canada & Mexico, in rural & remote regions

We found a (very concerning!) decrease in #climatehealth research in Canada since #IPCC AR5

Urban heat-related & respiratory research in the USA dominates the NAmerican literature

Gaps on previously neglected #climatehealth outcomes are beginning to be filled but are still under-researched -eg #mentalhealth #nutrition #foodborne disease

We used a #scopingreview approach to systematically identify and examine publication trends.

We examined 56,000+ potentially relevant articles, of which 756 articles measured #climatehealth in North America since #IPCC AR5.

Seasonal weather patterns set important routines in mental health and wellness, thus, transition periods were challenging periods for many people.

New publication exploring connections between #weather, #seasonality, #climatechange, and Inuit #mentalhealth in Nunatsiavut. Check it out: https://t.co/Mdt8gLPjyy

Current and forecasted weather conditions had a "strong-hold" on emotional and mental wellbeing.
