Eco-Grief
Eco-grief refers to the grief, sadness, and sense of loss people feel in response to environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, and the destruction of ecosystems they love or depend on. It may be tied to a specific place, species, or way of life—or to a more diffuse mourning for the future.
Climate Anxiety
Climate anxiety is the chronic fear, worry, or dread associated with climate change and environmental uncertainty. It often includes feelings of helplessness, moral distress, anger, or anticipatory grief, especially among young people, caregivers, clinicians, and those who feel a strong sense of responsibility for others or for the planet.
Burnout
Burnout emerges when prolonged stress, emotional overload, and a perceived lack of control or meaning erode resilience. In the context of climate and ecological crises, burnout is often fueled by:
- Constant exposure to alarming information
- Feeling responsible but powerless
- Value conflicts (caring deeply in systems that feel indifferent or harmful)
These experiences are not signs of pathology or weakness. They are understandable, human responses to ongoing, collective threats—and to caring deeply in a world that feels increasingly fragile.
