Mapping an Ecology of Integrative Approaches to Addressing the Metacrisis

This paper presents a systematic mapping of integrative responses to the metacrisis, understood as a complex web of interconnected global crises spanning ecological, epistemic, ethical, and existential domains. Using a metatheoretical methodology, the authors identify and compare a broad range of emerging integrative approaches. They argue that frameworks such as metamodernism, integral theory, Game B, and critical realism provide more cognitively and epistemically robust pathways for conceptualizing and addressing the metacrisis. The paper underscores the need for mutual understanding, cross-pollination, and coordinated action across integrative communities in order to catalyse a meta-systemic shift and advance a realistic and hopeful trajectory for societal transformation.
