Predicament: Our Intertwined Crises. In: Toward Social-Ecological Well-Being

In this chapter, the author examines the ongoing unsustainability crisis, connecting various dimensions of sustainability while linking planetary health with inequality and cooperation. Environmental crises such as climate change, ecosystem degradation, and biodiversity loss are shown to significantly degrade human health. The widening gap in both domestic and global inequality over the past four decades is also explored, highlighting the growing disparity. The chapter further addresses the cooperation crisis, which has been aggravated by the increasing influence of digital tools on human lives and socialization patterns.
