This work initially addresses some relationships between uncertainty, environmental and disaster communication, and climatic urgency as contributing elements to eco-anxiety. Some people experience daily bouts of grief and despair, others show sudden panic attacks. Eco-anxiety can be defined as “chronic fear of environmental catastrophe”. The local effects of climate change are more relevant at the individual level, impacting more people than the general phenomenon of global warming, especially when the direct effects are combined with the news broadcast in the media. Although the news of natural disasters is common, why are some reluctant to understand it? It is a phenomenon called psychological distance, by which terms such as climate change and global warming are conceived on a large scale, but are not related to the consequences they have on a personal level. Perceiving how a majority does not take action in the face of the climatic emergency and the environmental catastrophe is, for other people, an added stressor. It's about passivity anxiety.
