Polycrisis

Global crises happening all at once re-inforce one another making the effects larger than any individual crisis alone. This polycrisis (originally coined by Edgar Morin), is an entanglement of events like pandemic, war, climate change, and inflation. For example, pandemic leads to inflation and greater political polarization giving rise to far-right movements and less action to address climate change, and so on.
