Climate anxiety is worry, anxiety, depression, hopelessness, or distress related to state of the world and the climate. Climate anxiety is a legitimate response to the impacts of climate change, as well as the lack of action of leaders. As the impacts of climate change continue to increase in severity and frequency it is crucial to find tools and methods to manage climate anxiety. This page's purpose is to share on-campus and online resources to help. It is important to acknowledge our anxieties but also create space where we can envision a better future, and actively participate in creating a more sustainable world.
