The role of the youth sector in addressing young people’s climate emotions

This resource demonstrates that young people are profoundly concerned about the future of our planet, with many experiencing a spectrum of emotions such as anxiety, grief, solastalgia and hope. In particular, eco-anxiety, which pertains to the chronic worry about environmental doom, is increasingly prevalent among young people. 

Findings of this paper on how climate emotions affect the mental health and daily lives of young people can be particularly useful to educators and young people from Pact community, as well as to anyone interested in how youth of today perceives climate-related issues.
