Impact on Youth

Children and teenagers are growing up in an era where environmental concerns are front and center. Schools are including sustainability in their curricula, and young people are increasingly vocal about their future on a potentially compromised planet.

Concerns Among the Elderly

The elderly deal with eco-anxiety differently, often reflecting on changes witnessed over their lifetimes and worrying about the legacy left for future generations.

Coping Strategies

Across all ages, engaging in sustainable practices and advocating for corporate and governmental responsibility can provide a sense of empowerment.

Staying informed and connected can help mitigate feelings of helplessness. For more on trends and coping, visit Global Warming and Eco-Anxiety Trends and Eco-Anxiety in the Workplace.
