ECO-MIND: enhancing pro-environmental behaviours and mental health through nature contact for urban youth - a research protocol for a multi-country study using geographic ecological momentary assessment and mental models.

Introduction: Urban youth are experiencing increasing mental health problems due to diverse personal, social and environmental concerns. Youths' detachment from natural environments, including green and blue spaces, may intensify such issues further. Contact with nature can benefit mental health and promote pro-environmental behaviour (PEB).

Do neuroticism and efficacy beliefs moderate the relationship between climate change worry and mental wellbeing?

Background: Research on the nature and prevalence of phenomena like climate anxiety (or eco-anxiety) is increasing rapidly but there is little understanding of the conditions under which climate change worry becomes more or less likely to significantly impact mental wellbeing. Here, we considered two plausible moderators of the relationship between climate change worry and mental wellbeing: neuroticism and efficacy beliefs.

Methods: Analysis was conducted with survey data gathered in six European countries in autumn 2019.

Mental models of the protein shift: Exploring consumers' perceptions of the transition.

The protein transition is one of today's major societal challenges to mitigate climate change. To support lasting consumer engagement, it has been suggested to look into consumers' understanding of the protein transition to identify barriers that go beyond the practical issues of changing one's diet. The current study explored consumers' mental models of how the transition unfolds to examine which factors consumers perceive as important drivers of the transition.
