We all have a role to play in addressing climate change. This volume, both highly informed and highly readable, helps to understand the complex and sometimes uncomfortable emotions that accompany that role. Climate anxiety can be an opportunity that prompts us to strengthen our relationship with the earth.
Joe Duggan, science communicator, founder and coordinator of Is This How You Feel
Turn the Tide on Climate Anxiety is an important book for an important audience. If you are aware of climate change, aware of what you need to do to address the issue but need a little help with the how, then start here. Galvanise yourself, look after yourself and turn anxiety into action.
Prof. Martin Milton, Chair of Division of Counselling Psychology Climate and Environmental Crisis workstream (British Psychological Society), author of The Personal is Political: Stories of difference and psychotherapy
As more and more people become aware of the reach of climate change, the need for attuned and evidenced support increases. Kennedy-Woodward and Kennedy-Williams perfectly timed, and much needed book offers a clear and accessible text to help readers understand the range of emotional responses, refrain from pathologising these in anyway and find ways to move from anxiety to action. Sadly, this book is likely to become more and more important as time goes on.
