[Research Workshop] Responding to Eco-Anxiety and Climate Trauma: First Steps for Human Rights Researchers and Educators Eco-anxiety is a growing challenge facing professionals working on climate-related issues, including researchers and educators. The mental health impacts of the climate crisis are widely recognised and have been documented by numerous scholarly studies. For students and young people in particular, anxiety related to the climate crisis is likely to increase following the political victories of anti-climate actors, the withdrawal of the USA from the Paris Agreement, and the fact that the 1.5°C warming limit has already been exceeded. This will only be exacerbated as the impacts of the climate crisis – including wildfires, droughts and extreme weather events – become increasingly part of our lived experiences and our news media.

🌍 Workshop: Responding to Eco-Anxiety and Climate Trauma

The emotional impact of the climate crisis is increasingly felt in human rights research and education. Explore eco-anxiety and coping strategies.
