SUMMARY:LunchUP+T with Michaela Zint
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is not only an environmental crisis but also a profound emotional one. Rising levels of climate anxiety—defined as worry\, fear\, or distress about the impacts of climate change —are increasingly shaping how students\, professionals\, and communities engage with sustainability challenges. Recent studies\, including at the University of Michigan\, show that while too little or too much climate anxiety can hinder effective engagement\, moderate levels may motivate constructive action. \nThis presentation will provide an introduction to the topic\, including the relationship between climate emotions and climate action\, and highlight how “emotion-informed” approaches to teaching can foster resilience\, agency\, and hope. Dr. Zint will share evidence on the prevalence and impacts of climate anxiety\, the role of emotions in shaping climate action\, and promising strategies for supporting individuals in transforming anxiety into meaningful individual and collective action. Participants will gain insights into practical interventions—ranging from facilitated emotional sharing to nature-based experiences and creative expression—that can help turn climate distress into pathways toward a sustainable and just future.
