Abstract Background Whilst there is little uncertainty about the deleterious impact of pollution on human and planetary health, pollution’s impact on child and adolescent mental health is less well understood. This is particularly true for young people in underdeveloped and developing world contexts, about whom research is generally lacking. Furthermore, although child and adolescent resilience continues to be a research priority, little attention has been paid to child and adolescent pathways of resilience in the face or aftermath of pollution exposure. Methods We will conduct a systematic review that adheres to PRISMA guidelines. Its purpose is to document what is known about how pollution affects child and adolescent mental health, along with what protects children and adolescents against these effects and associations across diverse contexts. Discussion Systematic insights are likely to support psychologists and other mental health practitioners to better support child and adolescent wellbeing globally regardless of exposure to pollution. Systematic review registration We have registered the review protocol in PROSPERO (registration: CRD42020176664).
