A randomized controlled trial of the effect of a nature-based intervention on climate capability and eco-anxiety in teenagers

The study results appear to confirm the effectiveness of a nature-based intervention in teenagers to build positive relationships with the environment and build their own capacity and capability to effect positive environmental change. Those responsible for developing school curricula should consider including climate education and engagement in the education of young people if we are to ensure that we have enough climate capable citizens of the future. The trial was registered with ISRCTN on 26/10/24 (No: 46298/www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN18655072).
