Greta Thunberg was quoted in the study, saying, “Young people all over the world are well aware that the people in power are failing us.”

Almost half of the young people surveyed, 45 percent, said that anxiety and stress surrounding the issue is affecting their daily lives and functioning.

They found that three-fourths of young folks believe that “The future is frightening,” and that 65% of them believe their governments aren’t doing enough to combat catastrophes that will be exacerbated by climate change. Described as the first large-scale study of climate anxiety, it was assisted by human rights activists, academics and mental health experts, including Dr. Eric Lewandowski, a New York University clinical associate professor. It was funded by AVAAZ, a U.S. nonprofit organization that promotes global activism, and it is expected to be published in the Lancet Planetary Health.
