It is easier to imagine the end of the world than the end of capitalism" – with this provocative thought, the speaker opens her perspective on the climate crisis. Rather than succumbing to resignation, she highlights unexpected opportunities within the crisis: despite rising food prices and extreme weather events, it could ultimately foster greater solidarity.Research on over 500 disaster cases confirms that in times of crisis, people tend to act in solidarity rather than selfishly. Practical neighbourhood support becomes both a form of climate adaptation and a cost-free act of resistance against capitalism. Through preparedness and mutual aid, communities can become more resilient. Milena Glimbovski is an entrepreneur and pioneer of the zero-waste movement in Germany.
