Abstract

The consequences of climate change, and responses to climate change, interact with multiple dimensions of human well-being in ways that are emerging or invisible to decision-makers. We examine how elements of well-being – health, safety, place, self and belonging – are at risk from climate change. We propose that the material impacts from a changing climate, discourses and information on future and present climate risks, and policy responses to climate change, affect all these elements of well-being. We review evidence on the scale and scope of these climate change consequences for well-being and propose policy and research priorities that are oriented towards supporting well-being though a changing climate.
