Climate Change and Mental Health: A Conversation With Paul Kirk
Solastalgia: a form of emotional or existential distress caused by environmental change.
The rate of mental health issues in young people is rising with the sea levels. Though we've known for years that social media has drastic impacts on the mental health of young people, the research on climate-related mental health issues is comparatively scarce. Only recently have scientists created terms like "climate-anxiety," "eco-grief," and "solastalgia" to describe the anguish our generation feels as we bear the burden of the climate crisis. Is there an antidote to the psychological consequences of climate change? Listen in to my hopeful and insightful conversation with Mr. Paul Kirk, an educator, environmentalist, and outdoorsman, to find out.
