Strengthening Mental Health Resilience Through Primary Care Systems in Asia and the Pacific
ADB
2026.07.23
Analyzing how extreme weather due to changes in the climate risks intensifying mental health challenges in Asia and the Pacific as pressure on primary health care (PHC) systems mounts, this brief explains how better integrating mental health can strengthen resilience.

It notes how extreme weather events and climate-related disasters are linked to increased mental health issues including post-traumatic stress disorder and depression, while service disruptions, infrastructure damage, and workforce distress increase the vulnerability of PHC systems. It recommends countries incorporate considerations around mental health support into national adaption plans, and explains how developing digital health platforms, strengthening cross-sector cooperation, and building community systems can drive equitable health outcomes.
