Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The study is set up as a randomized controlled trial. Quality of life, depressive symptoms, anxiety, sleep problems and traumatic stress will be measured. Given uncertainties regarding the psychological effects connected to the climate crisis, a transproblematic tailored treatment approach will be used that has been tested in several previous trials. However, the present program has been adapted for the target population of people who are affected directly or indirectly by the societal and individual consequences of the climate crisis.
