The “triple planetary crisis”—climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution—has become a central organizing concept in global environmental governance. However, recent evidence shows that environmental degradation produces cascading socio‑economic impacts that are not fully captured by this framework. This article proposes the tetra environmental crisis, a four‑pillar model that incorporates socio‑economic disruption as an intrinsic dimension of planetary instability. Drawing on interdisciplinary literature and empirical cases from Latin America, the article argues that environmental crises must be understood as socio‑ecological phenomena with direct implications for infrastructure, public health, economic systems, and social vulnerability. The tetra crisis framework offers a more comprehensive analytical tool for resilience planning in the Anthropocene.
