Anxiety

As COP26 draws to a close, climate anxiety among young people is reaching fever pitch. The Lancet climate change survey of 10,000 16-25-year-olds in 10 countries published in September 2021 finds that 59% are very or extremely worried, and more than 50% feel sad, anxious, angry, powerless, helpless, and guilty. What to do? First, those with power in companies and governments must up their ambition and take bold action. Second, we must show how actions by cities, business, finance and civil society are accelerating positive change in a powerful convergence that is creating a virtuous spiral of systemic transformation.
