A quick scan of the news on any given day makes it clear why the term “polycrisis” has recently become so popular, as communities across the planet experience simultaneous environmental and social challenges. Sadly, with the further erosion of Earth’s life support systems and the destabilization of societies around the world, grappling with the polycrisis (multiple, interconnected, and compounding crises in global systems) will become a growing necessity for all of us, no matter where in the world or what role we play in our communities.
The Post Carbon Institute invites you to join a special, two-part online event series aimed at helping individuals from across the globe and a variety of sectors – civil society, governance, academia, grassroots movements, business, journalism, etc. – better understand and respond to the polycrisis, including drawing upon the lived experience of people on the frontline of the polycrisis.
