Emotional distress caused by the environmental crisis is on the rise and impacting all generations. As the effects of climate change become more visible and severe, and with the spread of climate misinformation, eco-anxiety is considered the newest climate hazard. This panel explores the roots of this anxiety and how we can collectively cope to live with our new world.
