The Mental Health Climate
The new public health agenda
Public health in 2025 was a convergence zone: mental health crises, climate-related illness, and rising noncommunicable diseases demand integrated solutions. WHO reports that 1 in 5 people now live with a mental health condition, while air pollution contributes to 7 million premature deaths annually.
The good news? Countries like Brazil and Fiji have eliminated mother-to-child transmission of HIV and trachoma, respectively. But vaccine misinformation and funding cuts threaten progress. The path forward requires climate-resilient health systems, digital equity, and renewed investment in primary care.
