"Ecological Activism Between Hope and Eco-Anxiety"

Marta Giunta Martino
University of Geneva

Abstract

This contribution examines eco-anxiety and hope as reactive attitudes towards the ecological crisis within the context of ecological activism. This contribution emphasizes the delicate balance between these reactive attitudes, acknowledging the challenge of reconciling them and highlighting hope's transformative potential. By considering the interplay between eco-anxiety, hope, and political action, this contribution enriches our understanding of the emotional dimensions of ecological activism, providing valuable insights for navigating the complexities of the environmental crisis and fostering effective and sustainable responses.
