From Eco-Anxiety to Action

Building Climate Resilience & Sustainable Action for Youth

Are climate news and environmental concerns leaving you feeling overwhelmed? 

“From Eco-Anxiety to Action” is an interactive, experiential workshop designed to help secondary students turn climate distress into sustainable, grounded agency.

Why join us?

Recent global research shows nearly 60% of young people feel "very" or "extremely worried" about environmental issues, experiencing feelings of powerlessness, fear, and grief (UNICEF / Hickman et al., 2021). While caring about our planet is essential, chronic exposure to climate stress can lead to emotional paralysis and burnout.

This workshop moves beyond just discussing climate data or processing feelings. It approaches eco-anxiety through self-awareness, body regulation, and structured peer connection-equipping you with practical tools to shift from panic to purpose.

What you will gain

1.    Learn how climate stress manifests physically and mentally, including your nervous system's fight/flight/freeze triggers.
2.    Master practical, evidence-based grounding techniques you can use anywhere to navigate acute anxiety.
3.    Map your unique skills, interests, and energy levels to high-impact climate action without burning out.
4.    Share experiences and collaborate with student changemakers from across Bangkok in a safe, supportive space.
5.    Certificate of participation from the Bangkok Climate Action Week 2026.
