In this paper, we provide a brief overview on the assessment of the numerous effects of climate change on human health, with particular emphasis on brain health. After reviewing the epidemiological data concerning neuro-psychiatric mortality and morbidity, we will examine the known effects of global warming in a European context. We will consider respectively, neurological diseases (epilepsy, migraine, stroke, sleep, neurodegenerative and neuroinfectious disorders), neurological involvement of climate-change induced health conditions, neuro-psychological aspects (post-traumatic stress and sleep disorders, eco-anxiety) and emerging risks for the brain (toxins and infections). We suggest some underly-ing mechanisms impacting the brain health. Given the paucity of available data, we call for increased research attention to the adverse effects of climate change. This perspective is intended to support a higher degree of preparedness, the development of improved pre-ventive measures, and the promotion of targeted education for health professionals.
