| Sumario: | "A youth movement is reenergizing global environmental activism. The "climate generation"--Late millennials and iGen, or Generation Z--is demanding that policy makers and government leaders take immediate action to address the dire climate science predictions. Those inheriting our planet's environmental problems expect to encounter challenges, but they may not foresee the feelings of powerlessness and despair that often accompany social activism in the face of a seemingly intractable situation. Drawing on ten years' experience leading and teaching in college environmental studies programs, Sarah Jaquette Ray has created an "existential toolkit" for the climate generation. Combining insights from psychology, sociology, social movements, mindfulness, and the environmental humanities, Ray explains why and how we need to let go of eco-guilt, resist burnout, and cultivate resilience while advocating for climate justice. A Field Guide to Climate Anxiety is the essential guidebook for the climate generation--and perhaps the rest of us--as we confront the greatest environmental threat of our time."-- |
