Bill to address anxiety caused by environmental concerns

This bill would create new support systems for people experiencing anxiety related to environmental issues like climate change. It would require the NHS to provide specific mental health services for environmental anxiety. The bill would also require schools to include environmental wellbeing in their curriculum. Local councils would need to create community support programs. The government says this will help people cope with climate-related stress. Critics argue it may increase anxiety by focusing too much on environmental threats rather than solutions.
