Climate change is more than an environmental crisis – it is a social, economic, and political crisis. An interdisciplinary workshop was held in the summer of 2019 at the Georg Eckert Institute in Braunschweig, Germany, to discuss the interlinked economic, political, and social consequences of environmental crises. While the underlying ecological, climatological, and (geo)physical changes are indisputable, specialists, decision-makers, and the general public view and frame environmental problems in a variety of ways. Climate change is increasingly linked to issues of national security, global patterns of inequality, and political instability. In Lübeck, the potential flooding of the old city is securitized as a major concern that is closely linked to the city's cultural identity. In Rostock, the local media highlights the increased prospects of tourism that a changing climate could provide. Millions of vulnerable people are facing disproportionate problems as the effects of climate change worsen in terms of severe events, health effects, food security, livelihood security, water security, and cultural identity. Over the last few decades, migration has surged as a second-order effect of climate change. Environmental changes are reported among affected groups, according to an ethnography of the Ewe diaspora in/from Ghana. The Anthropocene investigates how human-induced changes to the planet increase inequities, perhaps leading to relocation. The most vulnerable individuals endure the brunt of the climate crisis despite contributing the least to the problem. Poor households may have a greater financial burden as a result of climate change mitigation initiatives. Limiting forestry activities to specific periods of the year, if not adequately managed, might have a negative influence on indigenous groups' subsistence. Decarbonizing economies' social, cultural, and political economy components must all be understood and addressed. Hydrometeorological droughts can stifle economic growth for up to 14 years in countries with a low gross domestic product. Mongolia's harsh winters (dzud) placed a strain on all but the wealthiest herding families. Grasp the economic consequences of environmental disasters requires an understanding of discourses and perceptions. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has emphasized the need for a design for sustainability that adheres to climate justice principles. People must be included in the decision-making process, which necessitates openness, access to information, and public participation. In creating climate resilience, the IPCC's newest report highlights the relevance of many types of knowledge such as scientific, Indigenous, and local knowledge. Communities and marginalized people can be connected to higher-level policy, technical, and financial help through innovations in climate finance architecture. Environmental crises are increasingly interacting in complicated and difficult-to-predict ways, such as the potentially catastrophic connections between planetary boundary violations and loss of biosphere integrity. The ecological, climatological, (geo)physical and socially constructed elements of environmental crises must all be considered in order to have a thorough knowledge of these interconnections.
