AB - IMPORTANCE: Climate change is associated with increasing mental health morbidity and mortality. However, an umbrella review to classify and quantify the global evidence on climate-related and nature-based mental health interventions is lacking. OBJECTIVE: To assess associations of climate-related and nature-based mental health interventions with mental health outcomes. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases were searched from inception to November 17, 2024. STUDY SELECTION: Systematic reviews with meta-analyses (SRMAs) with controlled climate-related or nature-based mental health interventions and mental health outcomes were included. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS: Standardized mean differences (SMDs; intervention vs control) and 95% CIs were synthesized, evidence was stratified according to the level of credibility, and associations were assessed using meta-regression. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Outcomes were mental disorders, psychiatric symptoms, and positive mental health. RESULTS: Twenty-eight SRMAs were included that examined 344 studies and 91 associations between psychosocial or nature-based interventions and outcomes. Of the 91 associations, 10 (11%) had a moderate credibility of evidence and 81 (89%) had low or very low credibility. Psychosocial interventions addressing climatic impact drivers were associated with very low credibility, based on limited data. Nature-based interventions were associated with reductions in tension (SMD, -0.87; 95% CI, -1.31 to -0.43), fatigue (SMD, -0.80; 95% CI, -1.16 to -0.44), confusion (SMD, -0.65; 95% CI, -1.12 to -0.19), and negative affect (SMD, -0.51; 95% CI, -0.85 to -0.16), as well as increases in positive affect (SMD, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.65 to 1.30), vigor (SMD, 0.83; 95% CI, 0.37 to 1.28), and well-being (SMD, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.07 to 0.73), with moderate credibility of evidence and not addressing climatic impact drivers.
