人们越来越多地认识到，气候变化会通过多种风险途径影响心理健康，包括当人们因气候相关而对珍贵物种、生态系统和景观造成损失时，会产生强烈的悲伤情绪。尽管研究兴趣日益浓厚，生态驱动的悲伤或“生态悲伤”仍然是一个尚未开发的研究领域。我们认为，悲伤是对生态损失的自然而合理的反应，随着气候影响的恶化，这种反应可能会变得更加普遍。根据我们自己在加拿大北部和澳大利亚小麦带的研究，结合文献的综合，我们为生态悲伤的研究提供了未来的研究方向。
Climate change is increasingly understood to impact mental health through multiple pathways of risk, including intense feelings of grief as people suffer climate-related losses to valued species, ecosystems and landscapes. Despite growing research interest, ecologically driven grief, or 'ecological grief', remains an underdeveloped area of inquiry. We argue that grief is a natural and legitimate response to ecological loss, and one that may become more common as climate impacts worsen. Drawing upon our own research in Northern Canada and the Australian Wheatbelt, combined with a synthesis of the literature, we offer future research directions for the study of ecological grief.
