Climate anxiety: Misconceptions and advice
Many people feel anxious about climate change and other trends in the world around us. However, there are constructive ways to cope with one's emotions. In step with the incorporation of the word "klimatångest" (climate anxiety) in the Swedish vocabulary, more and more researchers have become interested in the concept. One of them is Marlis Wullenkord, associate senior lecturer in environmental psychology at Lund University.
