Overview

Analysis reveals climate change anxiety influences childrearing intentions, with implications for policy.

Key Points

  • Higher climate change anxiety is associated with intentions to delay or forgo having children.
  • Participants undecided about childbirth had an adjusted odds ratio of 1.58 for higher anxiety scores.
  • Multinomial logistic regression methods were employed to analyze data from 441 childless individuals aged 16–44.
  • Political orientation appears to partially mediate the relationship between climate change anxiety and childrearing intentions.
