Climate change has toppled some civilizations but not others. Why? By Kate Yoder, originally published by Grist March 29, 2024
"...What matters most...is inequality and political polarization. Declining living standards tend to lead to dissatisfaction among the general population... As pressures rise and society fractures, the government loses legitimacy, making it harder to address challenges collectively. “Inequality is one of history’s greatest villains,” said Daniel Hoyer... “It really leads to and is at the heart of a lot of other issues.”
On the flipside, however, cooperation can give societies that extra boost they need to withstand environmental threats... “You need to have social cohesion, you need to have that level of cooperation, to do things that scale — to make reforms, to make adaptations, whether that’s divesting from fossil fuels or changing the way that food systems work.”
