""I do think that they're taking to heart what we're teaching them about climate change. But we also need to consider the mental health aspect. I don't think [institutions] are doing a great job right now, because we didn't previously understand the link between climate knowledge and stress.""
"Students who reported higher levels of stress over climate change were significantly more likely to think about how it could affect their future-but their sense of when that might happen varied."
Research from Quinnipiac University indicates that while undergraduates are knowledgeable about climate change, this awareness often leads to increased stress. A survey of 305 students revealed that over 95 percent believe climate change is real, with many feeling its effects in varying timelines. Higher stress levels correlate with concerns about future impacts, influencing daily decisions and career paths. Most students obtain climate information from social media, highlighting a need for better mental health support in educational institutions regarding climate-related stress.
