Young people who feel “hopeless and paralysed” by fears about climate change need help and support, mental health experts have said.
Place2Be – a charity offering counselling in schools – said the issue was becoming “more and more prominent”.
Plaid Cymru said it wanted new guidance for teachers and funding for eco projects focused on pupils’ wellbeing.
The Welsh government said changes it had made to the curriculum would help.
While the physical dangers posed by climate change are now widely-reported, the potential impact on people’s mental health has not had as much attention.
But Cliona Vaughan, a counsellor who works as school project manager for Place2Be in south Wales, said children’s climate anxiety was brought about by a sense that politicians and big business were not acting quickly enough.
She said one child told her: “We need to find another planet.”
She added: “They’re feeling worried, trying to find ways to help sort it out at a young age.”
Ms Vaughan said it got more problematic when children got older as “they can feel, at times, the future is hopeless”.
“Children shouldn’t have to have this worry – they have their hopes and dreams, they want to look forward to a bright future but what’s coming at them is about how there isn’t much time left.”
She said children needed empowering support in schools to help them deal with climate anxiety.

If kids really are suffering from anxiety, the wretched BBC has to shoulder for much of the blame for their relentless, alarmist propaganda.
Schools too share much of the blame for failing to give pupils the actual facts regarding the climate.
As for the dopey Cliona Vaughan, the last thing children need is “empowering support”, whatever that is.

As I have noted before, everyone stating we face extinction should be arrested and jailed.
I recommend that parents and family of people who have committed suicide over these claims immediately go and find those responsible.
Crime against humanity.
We used to scare kids with the bogey man which had the effect of making kids wary of strangers.
Now we traumatise kids with the weather.
“Empowering support” is code for radicalising them to get involved in even more climate protests. The more sensible thing would be to tamp down the alarmism currently being fed to children. Even going back to IPCC source material would be a huge improvement, rather than trumpeting nonsense being pumped out by fanatical organisations like XR and Greenpeace.
In other Welsh news applications to become Replacement Greta are now open.
Applicants should be aged 12 to 14, smug and have a CV completely devoid of life experience.
Ability to talk without emotion considered an advantage.
I remember the first time I saw a movie on whale hunting. They should not be allowed to make little preteen boys that angry, or make them cry that hard.
But, we all grew up out of it, didn’t we? Saw bigger pictures and positive actions and just generally we tend not to burst into tears for news photos much.
Which brings me around to the first comment I made today, how the Bolsheviks are purposely infantilising the population, keep them emotionally unballanced.
Because youngsters are communist by their very biological nature, and easy to exploit.
Nobody seems to be growing up no more…
P.S. Reviewing before posting and a thought jumps afore: The cancer industry is the weapon whereby they actually interfere with the entire population’s hormones. Like Roundup and the endless synthetic hormones in our food… we are literally being fed communism.
the surprise is more havent topped emselves really
starting the agit prop for co2 hysteria at preschool and getting worse all the time, enforced brainwashing by curriculum.
what did they expect to happen ?
Kids don’t need ’empower’
Kids need role models who are:
In other words, kids need what EVERY girl in this whole world is looking for when she goes dating
Kids need people around them with a GSOH
One such person did ‘bubble up to the surface’ recently
Donald J Trump
That what happened to him is the real measure of how much shyte we are all really in
‘Climate’ is symptomatic
Remember the 10:10 climate video “No Pressure”? Says it all, really, where the heads of the Climate Liars are at. Oops! Talk about an own-goal.

Schools teaching doom to children to get them on board at an early age are teaching what they don’t know is true. All they are accomplishing is abusing children that should be concerned with the ABCs to prepare for adult life. And enjoying life.
The standard of excellence should be held to schools, the BBC and other media except there is no standard. And I didn’t mention government representation.
From the article: “Young people who feel “hopeless and paralysed” by fears about climate change need help and support, mental health experts have said.”
Yes, they do. They should all be directed towards WUWT and similar websites, to calm their fears.
At WUWT, we can show the young people that they have nothing to fear about climate change but fear itself. There is no climate emergency. That’s a figment of Alarmists’ imagination.
The best piece of advice: Don’t buy the Snake oil the Climate Alarmists are trying to sell you. The Truth will set you free, and you will find the truth about the Earth’s climate at WUWT.
Ideological child abuse. Why does the Green Blob hate children so much?
Blame oil for the world populating to 8 billion.
Oil was the cause of transportation, medical, and communication infrastructures.
After the discovery of oil a few hundred years ago, we created various modes of transportation, a medical industry, and electronics and communications systems. The oil that reduced infant mortality, extended longevity to more than 80+ and allowed the world to populate to 8 billion, is now required to provide the food, medical, and communications to maintain and grow that population.
