Research has shown that as a result of the climate crisis, young people are becoming more anxious about their future and the future of humanity. Is there a point to acting when scientific consensus seems clear that we are headed for a slow and inevitable climate demise?

This episode of bLine explores the topic of ‘eco-anxiety’, diving into how a range of people engaged in climate issues deal with this feeling.

Thanks to all of our guests, Australian climate activist Varsha Yajman, Wellington School Strike 4 Climate Director Miki Inoue-Palmer, 350 campaigner Adam Currie and food resilience advocate Sarah Gell, policy expert Dr Carly Green, Victoria University of Wellington lecturer Cathrine Dyer, VUW Associate Professor for Climate Change Gerhard Reese, and Oxfam Advocacy and Policy lead Nick Henry.

Happy listening!
