Mapping the legal foundations of planetary mental health

[摘要] Human health hinges on the integrity of the planetary biophysical environment and local ecosystems (Zywert and Quilley, Reference Zywert, Quilley, Zywert and Quilley2020). Climate change, ocean acidification, freshwater supplies overconsumption, air pollution, stratospheric ozone depletion, and toxic waste have triggered extreme weather events, rising temperatures, biodiversity loss, food degradation, and new communicable diseases that have severely impacted on not only ecosystems (Phelan, Reference Phelan, Gostin and Meier2020), but also the physical and mental health of children, the elderly, and other vulnerable populations with pre-existing chronic health conditions and low economic status (Ingle and Mikulewicz, Reference Ingle and Mikulewicz2020).
