Die mentalen Auswirkungen des Klimawandels und die Bereitschaft zur Anpassung

Summary

Germany has limited data on climate change-related mental health issues and a lack of research on resilience factors. This project aimed to fill this gap by conducting a representative survey of the German population on psychological impacts and adaptation behaviors, and subsequently developing a "Guide to Mental Health in a Changing Climate." The completed study revealed that while 21% of respondents felt strongly affected, overall levels of climate anxiety and other climate-related psychological symptoms were rather low, as was adaptation behavior. Meaning-focused coping and access to nature were identified as key resilience factors.
