Résumé
Les défis soulevés par les changements climatiques sont de plus en plus importants et préoccupent un nombre grandissant d’individus. Certains ressentent une urgence d’agir, comme une responsabilité sociale : il faut mener dès maintenant des actions concrètes dans l’espoir de gérer la crise. En raison du fait que les actions individuelles, bien que pertinentes et nécessaires, n’ont pas les effets espérés par la personne qui les mènent, plusieurs vivent de l’éco-anxiété. Afin de canaliser cette écoanxiété, cet article présente onze stratégies d’adaptation, en fonction de trois axes prioritaires : les émotions, le problème et la signification.

Abstract
The problems caused by climate change are more and more frequent and affect a large number of individuals. Some feel an urgency to take concrete actions in the hope of contributing to manage the crisis : it is a matter of social responsibility Due to the fact that individual actions, while relevant and necessary, do not have the effects hoped for by the person carrying them out, many experience eco-anxiety in response to this crisis. That is why several adaptation strategies specific to eco-anxiety will be presented here according to three different types, those focusing on emotions, the problem and meaning. Each of these strategies will be presented, and an example will be provided.
