MANILA, Oct 22 (Philippines Daily Inquirer/ANN): Climate anxiety is gripping nearly half of the world’s youth, who, while motivated to take action and help save the planet, are hindered depending on where they live, according to a recent global study that looked into how climate change is hurting people’s mental health.

The study, “Climate anxiety, well-being and pro-environmental action” recently published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology, sought to take the broadest look at climate anxiety among over 10,000 university students in 32 countries including the Philippines.
