The top three most common events experienced by the participants in the study are forest fire (40.6%), earthquake (29.2%), and flood (19.7%). In the study, the mean CCWS score of adults was 33.92 \u00b1 10.27 and the mean WEMWBS score was 50.20 \u00b1 11.88. A positive correlation was found between the total, anxiety, and feeling of helplessness sub\u2010dimensions of the CCWS and the mean score of WEMWBS (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). The mean scores of CCWS and WEMWBS of the participants who stated that they experienced an extraordinary event related to climate change, who had a relative who experienced these events, who followed these events from the media, and the mean scores of CCWS of those who experienced these events themselves were found to be significantly higher (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). The mean scores of CCWS and WEMWBS were higher for those who experienced forest fire and flood disasters; CCWS for those who experienced tornado; and WEMWBS for those who experienced earthquake and storm\/hurricane (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>One of the most important results of the study is that there is a positive relationship between the sub\u2010dimensions of helplessness due to climate concern and the level of mental well\u2010being.
