Launch of the Polycrisis & Policy Brief Series

In this webinar, the PolyCIVIS initiative launches the first two papers of its Policy Brief Series (“From Polycrisis to Polysolutions” and “Humanitarian Aid in the Polycrisis”), which aim to inform and shape global discourse on the complex and interconnected nature of today’s polycrisis. The session explores the definition of polycrisis, highlighting its transboundary effects, multi-causality, and complex dynamics, while emphasizing the importance of integrated, multifaceted approaches to address interconnected challenges. The discussion also examines potential pathways to polysolutions within an evolving socio-political landscape, marked by a shift from conflict-driven crises to more frequent and overlapping climate and health-related emergencies.
