Climate change and mental health are two of the most significant global challenges today's world has been facing. Researchers want to fill the gaps on how climate change is negatively impacting mental health and what we can do about it.
One of the most promising approach to gain an understanding of this issue is to investigate factual and perceived changes in mental health and climate in people who reside in territories that most affected by climate changes, for example, Arctics, Siberia, and etc.
Hi Jebunnessa Chapola
See as eco-anxiety example:

If they seek a legally binding decision that would force the governments to act against climate change, it will be a disruptive change in the policy.
I have no ability to predict the outcome of the Court; however, I can quote this sentence which can lead to the probable outcome:
United Nations Brundtland Commission defined sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Today, there are almost 140 developing countries in the world seeking ways of meeting their development needs, but with the increasing threat of climate change, concrete efforts must be made to ensure development today does not negatively affect future generations. https://www.un.org/en/academic-impact/sustainability
