Climate change is increasingly affecting the mental health of young people

Climate change is increasingly affecting the mental health of young people worldwide, with more than half of individuals aged 16-25 reporting negative emotions like sadness and anxiety.

Studies show that eco-anxiety, defined as emotional distress related to environmental issues, is on the rise. 

In an Interview with the Wire’s Vanessa Gatica, Dr. Samantha Stanley from UNSW Sydney highlights the significant impact of eco-anxiety on youth and calls for a better understanding of its effects and how it can potentially drive climate action.
