From mitigation to adaptation: network models of their interrelations with climate anxiety, future anticipation, and intolerance of uncertainty

Key Points

• Findings demonstrate the strong link between climate anxiety and intolerance of uncertainty, highlighting emotional impacts.
• Key metrics reveal how future anticipation influences both mitigation efforts and adaptation strategies in diverse contexts.
• Assessment using network models illustrates complex interactions among key factors shaping climate responses over time.
• Implications call for integrating psychological factors into climate action frameworks for effective adaptation and mitigation.
