About

Climate Anxiety had not been on my radar until when a collision of events led me to the podcast "Climate Change and Happiness" and then ,by chance, or was it something else? I discovered the website "Is this how you feel?" while reading the new book, "A Bigger Picture" by Ugandan climate activist, Vanessa Nakate. Then it was The New York Times that took me deeper into that rabbit hole with the story "Climate Change Enters the Therapy Room", and then I stumbled upon a 2021 report from the Lancet: "Climate anxiety in children and young people and their beliefs about government responses to climate change: a global survey". Humboldt University Associate Professor, Sarah Jaquette Ray, then crowded my thoughts as she has written the book, "A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety: How to Keep Your Cool on a Warming Planet" and who had been a guest on "Climate Conversations". This is Professor Ray talking about climate change. And this is where you will find the "Steady Stater" podcast from the Centre for Advancement of the Steady State Economy.
