Feeling anxious about the planet’s future is becoming increasingly common. What is a climate emotion, really? This illustrated book helps readers to recognise and name the emotions linked to the environmental crisis: eco-anxiety, solastalgia, eco-paralysis… but also biophilia, eutierria and other positive climate emotions. Talking about eco-emotions is not a sign of weakness, but of awareness: it means being connected to the world and wanting to protect it.

What is this book for? Through practical ideas, exercises and reflections, this little survival guide offers tools to transform environmental sensitivity into the energy to act.
