If you’re feeling anxious about climate change, you’re not alone. According to a study published in The Lancet, 84% of youth globally say they are at least moderately worried about climate change. 59% are very or extremely worried.
Whether you’re a teacher who wants to help your students deal with the anxiety that might come with learning about climate change, or an individual struggling yourself, this episode is for you.
Laura Robinson, Psy.D. Clinical Psychologist, specialises in climate distress. We sat down with her to talk about how we can learn to calm ourselves in the face of this pressing, global issue. You can find Laura’s website at humanityandplanet.com

This podcast is co-produced by News Decoder and The Climate Academy. We are working together to develop an accessible, engaging, and thorough climate journalism curriculum for secondary schools all around the world.
