Staying hopeful in light of this summer’s climate events can be a real challenge. If you are feeling eco-anxious, we hear ya, we’re experiencing it too.
When we feel this way it’s easy to focus on the bad and forget about all the good things that are happening in parallel. This is called the negativity bias – it’s a really strong effect (26).
To help you out, we have matched some disastrous climate events from this summer, each with a good news story. As a bonus, the last slide is filled with climate good news you can share with your eco-anxious friends to remind them of the amazing actions that are possible.

Navigating this summer’s climate chaos has got us feeling pretty anxious.
