The burden of mental health problems among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children is a major public health problem in Australia.
Climate change and its health impacts are increasingly recognised by the world's leading medical organisations and journals.

This review emphasises the need to gain evidence for the mechanisms linking early racism exposure to adverse health outcomes in later life
