Abstract

The socio-ecological crisis is getting worse. Climate change and the destruction of the ecological foundations of life continue unabated. Although social forces that effectively politicise the crisis are needed more urgently than ever in this situation, socio-ecological movements themselves are in crisis. Just a few years ago, they had a major influence on social discourse and achieved some significant political successes - today, however, they are increasingly confronted with repression, social marginalisation and internal tensions.
