Guidance on policy and strategic actions for mental health and the environment, conservation and climate protection sector

Overview

Protecting and promoting mental health requires coordinated action across all sectors. This new Guidance supports governments in assessing how sector mandates, policies, and plans affect mental health, and provides practical steps to integrate mental health and well-being into the development, implementation, and evaluation of sectoral policies.

The guidance collection emphasizes two main areas of focus:
  • Cross-sectoral policy directives and strategic actions to promote leadership, prioritization, accountability, and financing for stronger national commitment.
  • Sector-specific guidance with policy options, strategic actions, and indicators for key government sectors.

The collection comprises 12 publications.

Guidance on policy and strategic actions for mental health and the environment, conservation and climate protection sector provides policy directives and strategic actions to address climate-related mental health risks, promote nature-based solutions, and integrate mental health into environmental and disaster preparedness policies.
