March 12th, 2026 - Maria Ojala's research has been mentioned on BBC's website by The BBC Science Features team. They briefly describe her research on meaning-focused coping in relation to the climate issue. Meaning-focused coping is one of three overarching ways in which young people handle climate change worry. Meaning-focused coping can induce feelings of hope that can exist alongside climate change worry, and help young people to “face, bear, and do something constructive with their worry”. This is something that will be studied further in the project. Find the link here: https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20260312-nine-tips-to-help-you-cope-during-turbulent-times
