Amidst news about disastrous floods, extreme weather events and other climate chaos, it is easy to despair. However, there is nothing as powerful as collective action to show we are not alone and that solutions for a brighter future exist. To this end, Friends of the Earth Malta has brought together hopeful visions for Malta’s future in the creative zine ‘Imagining a Fossil Free Malta’, to share inspiration for a fossil free future for Malta.

The Climate Emotions Support Groups offer peer support by connecting with others who understand your concerns and professional guidance with a young mental health professional who will facilitate discussions and provide coping strategies. Our goal is to equip you with methods, practices, thoughts, and ideas to care for yourself in these climate-chaotic times while caring for others and nature.

Climate change is here. 2023 was the hottest year on record. The average global temperature was 1.48 ºC higher than at the end of the 19th century. A 2ºC rise compared to pre-industrialised levels holds a dangerous consequence for the environment and what has been proved to contribute to the increase of temperatures is the rise of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions which are produced by human activity. Therefore, it’s crucial and urgent for global warming to stay below a 2ºC increase. Friends of the Earth Malta, alongside other environmental NGOs, advocate for a 1.5ºC target, in line with the Paris Agreement.

The EIB Climate Survey keeps making the headlines and it was quite a reality check (if anyone still needs one) with very worrying results showing that over 80% of Maltese fear they will be forced to move due to climate change while 99% recognise it is important for their country to adapt to these challenges. Climate anxiety is on the rise and many feel that not enough is being done. To address this rising trend Friends of the Earth Malta partnered up with environmental and mental health NGOs from Estonia, Germany and Denmark on the EU funded project CALM-EY: Coping with Climate Anxiety: Learning Methods for Mental Health for European Youth (2023-2025).
