The term ecoanxiety has recently entered the media discourse, that of social movements and within educational circles. If the research community is not outdone, too little has been written, particularly in French, on the phenomenon that the term « eco-anxiety » attempts to capture and its consideration in education. Mobilizing perspectives anchored in psychology and critical sociology, based on a literature review and the results of an exploratory empirical research, this article aims to 1) clarify the outlines of this notion, 2) to present some coping strategies to eco-anxiety and the associated issues, and 3) to provide some thoughts for intervention in environmental education (EE).
