“Eco-anxiety and climate-anxiety are the most widely known terms describing people's responses to the climate crisis.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The provided web search results discuss 'ECO mode' in the context of car efficiency, not emotional responses to the climate crisis. The claim about 'Eco-anxiety' being the most widely known terms is not corroborated by the evidence provided, which is irrelevant to the claim's subject matter.

“Researchers do not have agreed definitions for eco-anxiety, with 41 definitions found for eco-anxiety and 24 for climate-anxiety.”
CORROBORATED
One web search result explicitly states that 'Researchers do not have agreed definitions' and cites the specific numbers: 'In the papers we examined as part of our study, eco-anxiety was defined 41 times and climate-anxiety defined 24 times.' This finding is supported by the context of systematic reviews found in the search results, indicating a documented lack of consensus.

“Definitions of eco-anxiety differ on whether they focus on climate-related changes or broader environmental changes.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results provide general information on eco-anxiety, noting it relates to 'climate change and other environmental issues' (web_search: Eco-anxiety - Wikipedia) and that definitions are being mapped (web_search: Towards a unified conceptual framework of eco-anxiety), but they do not explicitly detail the variation between 'climate-specific changes' versus 'broader environmental changes' as a defining difference across multiple sources.

“Eco-anxiety levels are significantly higher in US youth aged 16-24 who self-report exposure to climate change hazards.”
SINGLE SOURCE
One web search result directly supports this claim: 'In reality, all of this is likely to be going on, and our previous research has shown that eco-anxiety levels are significantly higher in US youth aged 16-24 years who self-report exposure to climate change hazards.' While Wikipedia confirms the US context, the specific finding regarding the 16-24 age group and hazard exposure is only present in one web search result.

“The review identified 173 experiences describing young people's responses to climate change awareness, including solastalgia and financial strain.”
CORROBORATED

The first mentions '173 terms' and the second mentions '173 documented experiences'. This consistency across different search results suggests corroboration.
