Abstract:
The term “polycrisis” appears with growing frequently to capture
the interconnections between global crises, but the word lacks substantive content. In this article, we
convert it from an empty buzzword into a conceptual framework and research program that enables us
to better understand the causal linkages between contemporary crises. We draw upon the intersection
of climate change, the covid-19 pandemic, and Russia’s war in Ukraine to illustrate these causal
interconnections and explore key features of the world’s present polycrisis.
