It is a completely natural response to a real problem in our lives.
The effects of climate change are already being felt by people around the world – a fact that is understandably worrying. Eco-anxiety is how we describe those feelings of concern, fear, anger, and hopelessness about the future of our planet.
Our brains are designed to experience a range of emotions to help us survive. There is no right or wrong way to feel, but there are ways to help manage our eco-emotions to prevent them from overwhelming us.
Eco-anxiety is on the rise, particularly amongst those aged 16-25. As a generation who have grown up facing the impact of climate change, the weight of responsibility to act lies heavy on their shoulders.
Climate change is consistently ranked as one of young peoples’ biggest concerns across the UK – showing just how deeply they care. That demand for change is a source of power, but it can often come with an immense sense of pressure to be the solution.
Out of 1500 young people interviewed, 59% told us they had feelings of eco-anxiety in the last fortnight, but they also showed the strongest desire to take positive climate action.

We’re making new energy work.
With around 20% of UK carbon emissions produced by the energy we use at home, we’re equipping the next generation with the tools they need to take personal climate action. Change really can start at home.
By providing a range of home energy tech, we aim to make climate action more accessible. And to take our commitment further, we have already begun working towards our net zero targets. We want to inspire the entire energy industry to join the fight against climate change.
We’re empowering the nation to turn eco-anxiety into action.
This September, we’re bringing back the much-loved Channel 4 show, ‘Secret Life of 5 Year Olds’ in the aptly named ‘Secret Life of the Next Generation’.
The show will help the next generation understand the power they have to positively impact climate change by using less energy. And it will make it easier to have conversations with loved ones about the difference we can all make.”
