ECO-ANXIETY, or climate anxiety, refers to the distress caused by climate change, where individuals grow increasingly anxious about their future. The constant reporting of extreme weather events, droughts, water scarcity, and flooding serves as a stark reminder of the impacts on the environment and human systems.
Individuals with a deep connection to nature tend to be more susceptible to climate anxiety due to their acute awareness of the ongoing environmental changes.
