CLIMATE ANXIETY
Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the state of the world?
What is Climate Anxiety
Feeling worried, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the world around us is completely understandable. Eco-anxiety (also called climate anxiety or eco-distress) describes the worry and distress people feel when thinking about climate change, environmental destruction, or the wellbeing of animals and ecosystems.
It’s common to experience a mix of emotions: sadness, fear, anger, frustration, alongside physical sensations like tension, racing heart, dizziness, or digestive issues. The challenges facing our planet are real and deeply affecting communities and ecosystems worldwide.
