    Eco-anxiety especially in young people

    I often feel that by posting climate change articles in Save the Planet I’m adding to the general doom and gloom. It’s very difficult to raise environmental concern without also raising levels of anxiety. Young people are particularly affected. But academics and psychologists/psychotherapists are beginning to recognise the problem and are taking up the challenge of how to work with eco-anxiety.
