Emotional states known as “psychoterratic” conditions (feelings of grief, anxiety, guilt, and anger) occur in response to climate change-related loss of ecosystems, species, and landscapes (Albrecht, Chronic environmental change: emerging ‘psychoterratic’ syndromes. In: International and cultural psychology. Springer, New York, pp 43–56. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4419-9742-5_3 , 2011). Experts warn of widespread and unparalleled environmental modification within the next decade (IPCC) and data reveals a link between earth’s physical destruction and maladaptive emotional and psychological states. Eco-grief and similar harms to human health and well-being is a growing reality for millions impacted by historic levels of natural disaster, loss of habitat and homeland, as well as confusion over how to mitigate man-made environmental destruction. Eco-grief et al. are under-researched but mourning for the loss of ecosystems, landscapes, species, and ways of life is projected to increase due to climate-related changes (Holthaus, Eur J Int Relat 29(2):352–373, 2023). We provide the latest data from the emerging body of literature on psychoterratic phenomena including research on eco-grief among indigenous peoples. We examine interventions for ecological grief and offer recommendations for future research and public policy based on current (Comtesse et al., Int J Environ Res Public Health 18(2):734, 2021; Cunsolo and Ellis, Nat Clim Chang 8(4):275–281, 2018).

摘要

Emotional states known as “psychoterratic” conditions (feelings of grief, anxiety, guilt, and anger) occur in response to climate change-related loss of ecosystems, species, and landscapes (Albrecht, Chronic environmental change: emerging ‘psychoterratic’ syndromes. In: International and cultural psychology. Springer, New York, pp 43–56. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4419-9742-5_3 , 2011). Experts warn of widespread and unparalleled environmental modification within the next decade (IPCC) and data reveals a link between earth’s physical destruction and maladaptive emotional and psychological states. Eco-grief and similar harms to human health and well-being is a growing reality for millions impacted by historic levels of natural disaster, loss of habitat and homeland, as well as confusion over how to mitigate man-made environmental destruction. Eco-grief et al. are under-researched but mourning for the loss of ecosystems, landscapes, species, and ways of life is projected to increase due to climate-related changes (Holthaus, Eur J Int Relat 29(2):352–373, 2023). We provide the latest data from the emerging body of literature on psychoterratic phenomena including research on eco-grief among indigenous peoples. We examine interventions for ecological grief and offer recommendations for future research and public policy based on current (Comtesse et al., Int J Environ Res Public Health 18(2):734, 2021; Cunsolo and Ellis, Nat Clim Chang 8(4):275–281, 2018).
