More young people suffering from “eco-anxiety” (June 5, 2021)
Many children are suffering from “eco-anxiety”. They are worrying about the future of Earth, climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss. Teachers want more lessons in schools about these topics. They say schools should have eco-lessons for all year groups. A campaign group said only four per cent of school children knew enough about the environment. The group said this is making more children experience eco-anxiety.
The Earth Rangers campaign group said: “Eco-anxiety is not an official disorder. However, it does affect children in very real ways. This includes the feeling of fear”. It wants to help children find ways to manage negative feelings. It said schools should make activities so that children can teach their parents about protecting nature. Earth Rangers said we needed to help children more. It said: “Children are on the front lines of climate change.”
