Britt Wray

Britt Wray examines climate emotions as a researcher and writer, asking how communities can respond to planetary change. Generation Dread brings scientific reporting together with accounts from therapists, activists, and people living with eco-anxiety. Rather than treating fear or grief as personal failure, the book frames climate emotions as signals that can be understood, shared, and converted into care and action. Stanford Medicine identifies Wray as director of CIRCLE, a program focused on community-minded responses to climate distress, while Knopf Canada notes her doctorate in science communication and earlier book on de-extinction. Her work sits between public-health research and accessible nonfiction, giving readers both a vocabulary for difficult feelings and a route toward collective resilience.
