About Climativity
Climativity is a hub of climate positivity full of good news, simple and impactful actions to take, and an environmentally focused community and movement focused on tackling the climate crisis through optimism.
84% of American youth experience some form of climate anxiety. More than two-thirds of the overall population are concerned as well.
Worrying about the future is a natural reaction to news surrounding the climate crisis. This is a crisis, after all. Yet the negativity can be debilitating, unmotivating, and lead to mental health issues.
The consensus for how to help alleviate these feelings is threefold:
- Take action,
- Get involved in a community of supporters and like-minded people,
- Educate yourself.
Climativity is a media platform that helps accomplish this by being entirely focused on alleviating feelings of anxiety through climate positivity. It was launched in April 2022 by Jacob Simon and Anushka Makhija. Jacob continues to run it today.
