Young people in Wales feel 'paralysed' by concerns about the climate
More young people are seeking counselling over climate change worries, say charities.
Mental health experts say they feel “hopeless and paralysed” by their concerns about the future.
Ellie, 17, said she did not want to live in a world where her children did not know what polar bears were.
She said: “My biggest worry with this is that people get so scared that they just don't do anything.”
