The good news is that addressing social issues alongside the climate crisis can generate powerful, long-lasting solutionsThe movement they spawned continues to this day. We know that climate change acts as an amplifier of social inequality, disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable. In Chile, just a month before the social crisis exploded, we saw the first internal displacement as a result of the climate crisis. So as the impacts of the climate crisis become more intense, we can expect more displacement and more unrest. In the long run, however, only if social demands are met will ambitious and rapid climate action be feasible.
