The “Coping with Climate Change Distress Guide” is a resource developed to address the distress and stress associated with the reality of climate change. The guide acknowledges the fear, anger, guilt, shame, grief, loss, and helplessness that people may feel in response to the immediate and long-term threats posed by climate change. These emotions can arise from direct fears about climate-related events, future threats, or the broader existential crisis facing civilisation.
This guide emphasises the importance of coping with these emotions effectively. It highlights that while awareness of climate change is crucial, it is the emotional connection to the threat that often motivates people to take action. However, these feelings can also lead to significant distress and worry.
Overall, this guide provides strategies and insights into managing the complex array of emotions triggered by climate change, helping individuals to continue functioning effectively and remain involved in environmental efforts without being overcome by distress​​.
