This month the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its latest report on the state of the earth’s climate. And the results were grim. Headlines like “Global Climate Crisis: Inevitable, Unprecedented and Irreversible” (The Guardian) caused a resurgence of existential worry about the future of Earth and the life it shelters. In this issue, we are looking at this increasingly pervasive feeling: “eco-anxiety”. But it doesn't have to be all doom and gloom. How can we ease the dread through meaningful action? What’s the role of business regarding growing eco-anxiety among employees, business leaders, consumers?
