Polycrisis

Polycrisis describes a situation where multiple crises occur simultaneously or in close succession, interacting in ways that amplify their overall impact. These interconnected crises, spanning environmental, economic, social, geopolitical, and technological domains, often create cascading effects, with their combined impact exceeding the sum of their individual effects. Primary drivers include climate change, resource scarcity, economic inequality, urbanization, geopolitical conflicts, and technological dependencies.
