Climate change is a global crisis with profound implications for mental health. As a pressing environmental issue, it affects not only ecosystems but also human well-being. In Nigeria, where climate change impacts are increasingly evident, information professionals face unique mental health challenges. Continuous exposure to climate-related data and crises contributes to stress, anxiety, and emotional fatigue, potentially affecting their professional effectiveness. This study explores the intersection between climate change and mental health among information professionals in Nigeria, identifying key stressors and adaptation strategies to mitigate these challenges. The findings highlight the importance of resilience-building through professional development, targeted training, institutional support, and mental health interventions. To enhance their ability to manage stress and effectively support their institutions, information professionals must adopt structured coping mechanisms that promote well-being and sustainability in their work environments.
