Climate Anxiety
Forest fires, extreme drought, sea-level rise and plastic soup in the oceans…
We are highly exposed to images and articles on climate change and its consequences for the living beings on the world. Also around us, we can see these changes and consequences. For some people, this leads to feelings of anxiety, stress or depression. In Wageningen, there has been an increasing awareness of these feelings among students and staff of the WUR.
This evening we want to explore the concept of climate anxiety. What are the causes and how does it manifest itself? What are our experiences? And what are ways to give these sad, angry or gloomy feelings a place? We want to create a space to talk about climate anxiety, normalise these feelings, and look at ways to become active change-makers ourselves.
There will be different workshops that cover different aspects of climate anxiety. So something for everyone!
