Young people around the world are extremely worried about the climate crisis and are particularly frustrated at governments inaction in the face of the planets bleaker future, according to a new survey.

The study , published on Thursday in the science journal The Lancet Planetary Health, surveyed 10,000 people ages 16 to 25 across 10 countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Finland, Australia, Portugal, India, Nigeria, the Philippines and Brazil.

Nearly 60% of young people surveyed said they were very or extremely worried about climate change, and 45% said their feelings about climate change negatively affected their daily life and functioning.

In what study authors from the University of Bath, New York University Langone Health, Stanford, Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust and other academic institutions described as the largest, most global survey of climate anxiety in young people, nearly two-thirds of young people said their governments were not doing enough to avoid a climate catastrophe, and 58% felt governments were betraying me and/or future generations.

Three-quarters of young respondents said they believe the future is frightening, and 56% felt humanity is doomed.

I grew up being afraid of drowning in my own bedroom, said Mitzi Tan, a 23-year-old from the Philippines, in the studys release.

Society tells me that this anxiety is an irrational fear that needs to be overcome one that meditation and healthy coping mechanisms will fix, the young climate activist added. But that erases the accountability from those who are directly causing this fear. At its root, our climate anxiety comes from this deep-set feeling of betrayal because of government inaction. To truly address our growing climate anxiety, we need justice.
