<p>Climate change is a significant threat to both ecosystems and human mental health. Rising awareness of the threats posed by climate change is linked to increased psychological distress, or climate anxiety. While climate anxiety is an adaptive response promoting pro-environmental engagement, heightened and persistent anxiety can impair daily functioning. Traditional anxiety treatments, which target irrational fears, may be inadequate for addressing the rational concerns underlying climate anxiety. Recent research suggests that involvement in collective climate change mitigation efforts may alleviate distress while fostering adaptive engagement. This report investigated whether attention training directed at climate mitigation images reduces climate anxiety. Participants were randomly assigned to attention training or control groups and completed a and post-training assessment of climate anxiety. Results showed significantly lower post-intervention climate anxiety scores in the attention training group compared to the control group—supporting the hypothesis that increased attention to mitigation approaches can reduce climate anxiety. These findings suggest that interventions emphasizing mitigation-focused engagement could provide a novel, proactive approach to managing climate anxiety. Future research should explore long-term outcomes, generalizability to clinical populations, and integration of mitigation-focused strategies in broader mental health interventions.</p>
