Who is experiencing collapse? Why, when, how?
Some communities have been experiencing collapse for centuries, which have included additional factors beyond abuses or changes from manmade climate change. Some communities are now already experiencing breakdown (and perhaps collapse, depending on if they can regenerate) due to direct or indirect impacts of anthropogenic climate change, as well as issues relating to Covid-19, failures of capitalism, racial inequality, to name but a few. We do not know when impacts will increase and more communities will be affected but we agree with the United Nations that, importantly, climate impacts are already here now and everywhere. More research is being done on when and where, though that is ultimately difficult to predict and can be a distraction from other causes of disruption and collapse, and from reflection on the root causes, and meaningful action to be taken.
