Witnessing the rapidly unfolding consequences of climate change, many people feel worried, stressed and anxious. While suggestions on how to cope with anxiety have been proposed, literature lacks a theory-informed framework that structures integrates different coping strategies. We introduce Climate Anxiety Compass: classifies strategies individuals can use along three dimensions: (a) problem-focused (targeting change its consequences) or emotion-focused emotions stress caused by change), (b) mitigation (reducing avoiding stressor) adaptation (preparing for, adjusting to, learning live stressor), (c) individually oriented collectively oriented. Together, Compass identifies eight distinct types The help who experience explore options structure future research into which interventions are most effective.
