The role of eco-anxiety in reproductive wish during emerging adulthood

The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how environmental issues exert influence on reproductive decision-making through their impact on mental health. The need to adapt existing interventions and develop new educational programmes is emphasised to support younger generations in navigating the transition to adulthood. These initiatives should aim to enhance knowledge and awareness of the mental health impacts of environmental concerns, promote effective coping strategies, and foster resilience. Such efforts could assist in managing eco-anxiety and cultivating a more positive outlook on the future.
