Abstract
The concept of eco-anxiety, also known as climate distress, refers to a constant dread of environmental disasters brought on by recognizing how inevitably climate change would affect the environment. Eco-anxiety also involves raising concerns for one's own survival and those of future generations. The sense of unease or powerlessness over the impacts of climate variations or changes on the environment and one's own life is an aspect of eco-anxiety. Studying the influence of eco-anxiety, or climate distress, on mental health is crucial because it frequently occurs in the world and has a significant negative impact on people's functioning. Eco-anxiety has positive and negative effects on social behavior, cognition, productivity, and behavioral responses, all in turn, influencing the mental health and well-being of a person. The negative impact of climate change can be reduced by engaging in climate action.
