摘要

This study explores how emotions and values interact within environmental activism to transform anxiety and anger into mobilizing hope among young adults. Drawing on the Social Identity Model of Collective Action (SIMCA), Schwartz’s theory of basic values, and the literature on collective emotions, it is based on 70 semi-structured interviews conducted across seven countries: Tunisia, France, Brazil, Switzerland, United States, Lebanon and Iran. Findings indicate that participants initially experience high levels of anxiety and frustration in response to the climate crisis and perceived institutional inadequacy.When grounded in shared values, these emotions support learning processes, leadership development,and the transformation of professional identity, opening more sustainable vocational pathways.
