Isabel “Izzy” Coppola ’21 spent much of her senior year focused on the emerging field of eco-anxiety the psychological effects of worry about climate change. The American Psychiatric Association describes it as “a chronic fear of environmental doom.”
Coppola knows the feeling. Her UVM resume could be a prescription for how to alleviate eco-anxiety: get busy and start local. Her research is showing that eco-anxiety is a malady that can affect anyone who cares about the health of the planet future generations will inherit.
