Field Guide to Climate Anxiety

A youth movement is reenergizing global environmental activism. The “climate generation”—late millennials and iGen or Generation Z—is now demanding that policy makers and government leaders take immediate action to address dire climate science predictions. Those inheriting our planet’s environmental problems certainly expect challenges, but they may not foresee the feelings of powerlessness and despair that so often accompany social activism in the face of a seemingly intractable situation.
 
Drawing on ten years’ experience leading and teaching in college environmental studies programs, Sarah Ray has created what she calls an “existential toolkit” for the climate generation. Pulling from a range of sources ranging from social movements to environmental humanities, Ray explains why and how we will need to adapt to eventually let go of eco-guilt and resist burnout while advocating for climate justice. A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety is the essential guide for the climate generation—and perhaps the rest of us—as we face the greatest environmental challenge of our time.
 

O miscare de tineret revigoreaza activismul global de mediu. „Generatia climatica” - tarziu a mileniilor si iGen sau generatia Z - cere acum factorilor de decizie politica si liderilor guvernamentali sa ia masuri imediate pentru a aborda previziunile teribile ale stiintelor climatice.
