Conceptualizing Young People's Experiences of Climate Change Awareness: A Narrative Review.
Review in Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
There are a myriad of ways that young people experience and respond to awareness of the climate crisis. The way these experiences and their potential impacts on mental health are conceptualized is not yet clear or consistent for this emerging field of research. Consolidating emerging concepts, definitions, and theories can help to focus future research, policy, and interventions. We conducted a narrative review of academic literature covering climate change and mental health research focusing on young people. We searched Web of Science for English-language reviews published until June 27, 2024, and primary data published between January 2023 and June 2024. We extracted relevant concepts and created categories of concepts. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies (ASReview and ChatGPT) assisted papers screening and categorization, with human validation from global experts. We identified 93 relevant articles describing 173 terms for young people's experiences of climate change awareness; 52 coping strategies; and 62 frameworks, models, and theories with varying and overlapping definitions. We present and categorize the most frequent. This narrative review provides a foundational guide to the complex field of climate psychology, focusing on young people. We outline a seven-phase roadmap to further explore and consolidate understandings of emerging concepts and to map their interrelationships.
