The Value Crisis Glossary


"Polycrisis"


A time of great disagreement, confusion, or suffering that is caused by many different problems happening at the same time so that they together have a very big effect.

source: Cambridge Dictionary

(Some sources will say that the terms "polycrisis" and "metacrisis" are equivalent.  I disagree.)  The example of a polycrisis most relevant to my work is called "Ecological Overshoot".
