Abstract
This research focuses on the mental health impacts of learning about climate change in a college environment. Specifically, this research asks if those impacts decrease, increase or stay the same as students gain a deeper understanding of climate issues. I have surveyed and interviewed Environmental Science and Environmental Studies majors at the University of Vermont (UVM) about their prevailing emotions surrounding climate change, how their environmental classes affect their emotions, and if they have coping strategies to navigate negative emotions.
