For students at MSc in Business, Language and Culture

We are living in a changing environment. Through human activities, the planet is warming, driving profound changes in planetary habitability, including ecosystem and environmental degradation and sea level rise. Witnessing these changes triggers a range of emotions, especially among the young, including anxiety, fear and helplessness. On this wicked-Wednesday we introduce the problem of eco-anxiety. After brief presentations on how we address the topic of eco-anxiety in our own research, we will moderate an interactive discussion with the audience on how they understand and deal with eco-anxiety and related emotions in their own lives.Organised by Donald Canfield, DIAS Chair, Bryan Yazell, DIAS Senior Fellow and Anthony Fernandez, DIAS Senior Fellow
