Although there is still no unanimous definition of eco-anxiety, this term is used to describe an emerging phenomenon which, in recent years, has attracted the attention of psychologists, sociologists and those involved in Public Health. It refers to a form of anxiety and worry related to climate change and for the future of the planet and its resources. This article explores how eco-anxiety can influence environmental awareness and sustainability practices, highlighting both challenges and opportunities it presents for promoting a sustainable future. While these feelings towards the environment and climate change can generate anxiety, it can also act as a powerful driver of change and awareness in promoting sustainability. Therefore, it is crucial to develop strategies that transform eco-anxiety into positive action, supporting individuals, particularly more vulnerable, in their transition to more sustainable practices.
