Abstract :Climate change is one of the most critical and pressing issues of both our time and the future. This systematic review analyzes the association between the climate change and intergroup relations, adhering PRISMA principles. A systematic search has been conducted in the Web of Science and SCOPUS databases, resulting in the identification of 27 papers that fulfill the inclusion requirements. The findings show that research on this topic generally focuses on major dependent variables, their antecedents, and the consequences of climate change. Results indicate individual differences in climate change trust, support for climate policies, collective action, and environmentalism, influenced by various factors like ideology and education. How the climate crisis affects intergroup relations also depends on different factors including uncertainty, intergroup inequalities, and commonality perception. This review approaches the climate crisis and intergroup relations from a holistic perspective and offers recommendations for addressing the significant limitations identified in the literature.
