Wild About Wellbeing: Urban Areas and Eco-Anxiety

Wild About Wellbeing is a podcast by The Wildlife Trusts, hosted Rob Gordon and Dom Higgins who talk about all things to do with nature and health. Season One is all about about eco-anxiety and keeping Nature In Mind. We'll be diving into strategies for cultivating positive mental health habits, and in particular looking at what you can do to tackle eco-anxiety and keep hope in your heart for a brighter future.
In this live episode, we will dive into how eco-anxiety might feel different in urban environments. Eco-anxiety is not a one-size fits all issue, and the people that live, work and play in built up areas will experience the impact of climate change and nature loss differently, through air pollution or flooding for example. With the majority of the world’s population living in urban environments, it is important to talk about eco-anxiety and the potential solutions.
