Abstract

Filipinos stand among those most at risk from climate change impacts. Despite the significant environmental challenges, there are few studies on environmental psychology in the Philippines, notably on climate change and its effects on mental health. This study looks into the importance of understanding the relationship between climate anxiety and pro-environmental behavior while looking into the mediating effects of perceived self and collective efficacy among 312 young adult Filipinos aged 18 to 30 through the use of an online survey. The results indicated a significant positive correlation between climate anxiety and pro-environmental behaviors in both private and public spheres. The use of mediation analysis showed that higher levels of climate anxiety were associated with increased perceived self and collective efficacy, which in turn led to a high probability of partaking in pro-environmental behaviors.  These findings highlight the mechanics involved in climate anxiety and its impact on behaviors among young adult Filipinos, emphasizing the importance of perceived efficacy in embracing eco-friendly practices. The insights procured from the study can provide constructive information in helping Filipinos implement interventions that cultivate sustainable practices and mitigate the adverse effects of climate change.
