Abstract

Climate change is not only an environmental but also a mental issue. Due to a new expansion in media interest on eco-anxiety or ‘solastalgia’, the chapter intends to examine the multi-faceted nature of the concept within the recently developing area of environmental psychology. Remediation activities are likewise examined as means that can guarantee individual and societal health when combined with dynamic cooperation in endeavours for climate change alleviation.
