Foreword to the Section – A Crisis Hidden in Plain Sight: Climate Anxiety in Our Youth

Abstract

ABSTRACT Bill McKibben’s foreword to the section underscores the importance of formulating ways of thinking and addressing climate grief and anxiety. Communicating a sense of shared grief and anxiety over climate disruptions allows individuals to feel part of a larger community of those with similar concerns. The sense of commonality can spur one to activism which is both our best hope for change and a powerful source of solace for these understandable reactions.
