We are living in the midst of an environmental crisis that is taking its toll on our mental health. What does environmental anxiety tell us? How can we live with the emotions evoked by the environmental crisis?
This brief guide to eco-emotions offers tips for understanding environmental anxiety and promoting mental wellbeing in the era of environmental crisis. No one should be left alone to survive with these hardships, and supportive communities are more needed than ever.
