Climate change is driving inflation and instability, which harms climate action. But it’s not too late to escape the doom loop.

In many ways, this is business as usual. Climate change is an international problem requiring international cooperation, the possibilities for which are determined by geopolitics. But this year, something more unsettling is emerging: climate change is itself beginning to impact geopolitics.

    Climate change is going to hit poorer countries hardest, but rich countries will feel it through mass migration.

    Europe already struggled with refugees from Syria and Africa, and climate migration will be on a whole different scale.

    Countries like Denmark just aren’t set up to handle millions of new people without major changes.

    It’s going to take global cooperation and some hard decisions to deal with what’s coming.

      I hate to say it, but the mass influx of climate migrants will cause even harder backlashes and more fascist responses. It’s reallll bleak.
