Climate Anxiety and Climate Despair

Climate anxiety is spreading and beginning to permeate therapists’ consulting rooms. Many of climate change’s earliest alarm-ringers, those such as activists and scientists, are at times having to face unmanageable feelings of despair, anger and grief. The Climate Psychology Alliance is responding to a growing volume of calls for support. Join three panellists from the alliance who have some insight into how to manage these sometimes overwhelming emotions about our planet’s future.
