Summary

78% Informative

Psychologists say you are not alone in the face of climate distress.

Find out how people experience a range of meanings and emotions in relation to the climate crisis.

The PTMF encourages a focus on asking, "What has happened to you?" rather than "What is wrong with you?" Find what connects to you personally and go gently with yourself.

Ultimately, though, the solution to climate distress must be much broader than on the individual level. What our research showed was that climate distress is caused by the (in)actions of governments and powerful bodies which are harming our planet and threatening our futures. Significant systemic changes are needed now to act on the climate crisis to protect humanity and support adaptation as climate breakdown progresses.
