Una idea para tus historias: Ansiedad climática

The document outlines the prevalence of climate anxiety, distinguishing it from clinical pathology and highlighting its link to pro-environmental behavior. It provides guidance for journalists on nuanced reporting and lists specific resources for both reporters and the public to manage climate-related distress.

• Climate anxiety is widespread, with a recent national study indicating that 64% of Americans are at least "somewhat concerned" about climate change, and nearly 10% experience more intense feelings of hopelessness and nervousness.
• Climate anxiety is not considered a pathology by many researchers; rather, it is viewed as a reasonable response to the severe danger posed by the climate crisis, though it can coexist with or exacerbate other mental health issues.
• There is a positive correlation between climate anxiety and pro-environmental behavior, suggesting that such distress can serve as a catalyst for climate action rather than being solely a negative health story.
• Certain populations are more susceptible to climate distress, including children, youth, women, girls, frontline climate professionals, first responders, indigenous peoples, farmers, fishers, and Black and Latino communities in the United States.
