As the climate crisis increases the frequency and severity of extreme weather events like floods, heatwaves and storms in Europe, it also takes an emotional toll on people.
A survey by the British Association for Counseling and Psychotherapy (BACP) found that almost three quarters (73%) of 16 to 24-year-olds said the climate crisis was having a negative effect on their mental health, up from 61%. of all people in the United Kingdom.
