Navigating Systemic Risk in the Age of Polycrisis

In this episode, Ajay Gambhir, Director of Systemic Risk Assessment at ASRA, explores the concept of polycrisis, showing how climate change is deeply interconnected with other global challenges across social, economic, and political systems. He highlights how crises reinforce one another, creating complex feedbacks that demand integrated solutions. A central theme is inequality, which shapes how societies experience and respond to these overlapping stresses. Gambhir argues that addressing these crises in isolation is ineffective; instead, tackling them together, with fairness and equity at the core, is essential for building resilience and achieving meaningful change.
