Climate Anxiety is on the rise, while temperatures are rising and the climate crisis is getting more and more real. In this first English episode I talk with Michaela Zint about the psychological and emotional effects of the climate crisis and how not to lose hope. Climate Emotions, not just Anxiety, are and important aspect in tackeling the climate crisis, as people involved also need to care for their own needs to keep going. Michaela also shares her own journey with emotions and also useful tipps to care for your own wellbeing in the midst of the polycrisis.

Dr. Michaela Zint is an Associate Dean and Faculty Member at the University of Michigan's School for Environment and Sustainability.  Her research and teaching focus on advancing sustainability including climate education - most recently by exploring the role of emotions like climate anxiety and climate action.
