What is climate anxiety? "I grew up being afraid of drowning in my own bedroom"-
Mitzi Tan, 23, the Philippines That's the heartbreaking story one young person
told us about how the climate crisis scares her. And she’s not alone. Avaaz
members just funded the biggest-ever survey on climate anxiety in children and
young people -- surveying 10,000 people in 10 countries around the world. In
every country, it shows that anxiety about the planetary crisis is very high,
and it's not just because we're witnessing devastating climate disasters, it's
also linked to governments consistently failing to take decisive, meaningful
action to stop the crisis. We can still stop runaway climate change. We know
what's needed, and what governments must do. But it will require bold political
will and determination -- and that's been woefully missing. Yet things are
moving, there is new momentum, and there's still tons of space for radical,
grounded hope. Here's what the study found: 45%Nearly half of global youth
surveyed (45%) say climate anxiety is affecting their daily lives: how they
play, eat, study, and sleep. 75%More than seven in ten (75%) believe "the
future is frightening" -- jumping to 81% of youth surveyed in Portugal and 92%
in the Philippines. 58%58% said governments were "betraying me and/or
future generations," while 64% said their governments are not doing enough to
avoid a climate catastrophe. 39%Almost four in ten youngsters (39%) said
they are now hesitant about having children. These results are scary, but
psychologists say it's not just affecting children. Climate anxiety is being
felt by people of all ages, everywhere. This email is to help us all understand
what climate anxiety is, how we can live with it, and how those feelings can
inspire radical hope as we fight to protect our planet. We're also opening a
space for Avaaz members to share their experiences on this issue, as community
can be helpful (see button below). This study's findings could also play a key
role in youth-led climate litigation, such as the landmark climate lawsuit
against 33 governments, which Avaaz members are helping to fund. That's not all:
in the run-up to this year's UN climate summit, we're going all out to make
sure this study lands on every decision-maker's desk, influencing critical
negotiations and government policy. The report is already making massive media
waves, with huge coverage in some of the most influential news outlets, and the
UN Secretary General even mentioned the findings in his big speech to world
leaders -- amazing! Share this briefing: What is Climate Anxiety?Climate
anxiety is the worry, frustration, grief, and even anger linked to the reality
of the climate crisis and our governments' ongoing failure to respond with the
urgency it requires. People are feeling betrayed by leaders and scared of the
future. These are uncomfortable and difficult feelings -- but they're a
perfectly normal, healthy response to the destruction of the natural world
coupled with political inaction. It's not a matter of 'fixing' or 'solving' our
anxiety, but learning to live with it. For each of us, it's about acknowledging
those feelings, and respecting them, so that we can engage in the crisis and
hold our leaders accountable, without falling into despair or denial. Our
feelings of anxiety often come from a deep, genuine love for nature and the
planet. How could we not be feeling anxious? Our feelings aren't the problem;
the reality of the crisis, combined with political failure are. Share your
experience What can we do about Climate Anxiety?If climate anxiety is a
healthy, natural response, then how do we live with it? Here are some tips and
ideas from the Climate Psychology Alliance that may help you and your loved
ones: </DIV>

<LI><STRONG>Remember that you are not
alone</STRONG>. There are lots of other people
who may be as anxious as you are -- it could
just be that they aren't talking about it.
<LI><STRONG>Create space to talk about climate
change</STRONG>, but specifically for the
feelings it brings up for yourself and others.
Listen to how young people feel and take their
feelings seriously. Explain to them that their
feelings make sense and are a sign that they are
a caring person. It's normal to feel sad and
frustrated with things as they are right
now.
<LI><STRONG>Know that it's not all on
you</STRONG>. There's only so much one person
can do, and while individual action DOES have an
impact, this is a collective responsibility.
Support young people to take action, however
small the impact may feel to you. Avaaz is proof
that when enough of us get together we can make
a big difference!
<LI><STRONG>Do your best to take care of
yourself</STRONG> physically and emotionally. It
sounds obvious, but taking care of the basics
can help to boost our resilience and keep
ourselves grounded.
<LI><STRONG>Spending time in nature can
help</STRONG>. Connect with nature and allow
yourself to enjoy its beauty. Our love for
nature can inspire our fight to protect the

it is helpful. So we're creating a space where
we can all share our own experiences of how
we're living with climate anxiety, maybe even as
it inspires us to action. <STRONG>Click to read

a time to be alive. We are witnessing one of the
biggest threats to our planet in the history of
civilization -- and we're also possibly the last
generation that can save it. We can still pull
our precious earth back from the brink, allowing
nature to flourish. And while feeling the fear
and pain of this moment, crises can also reveal
the best in ourselves: sparking creativity,
inspiration, and empathy for ourselves and
others. This is the home of radical hope, a hope
that's grounded in reality, and yet determined,
tenacious, and compassionate. It's exactly what
the world needs right now.<BR><BR>With fierce
