Look up polycrisis in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
A polycrisis is a cluster of disparate crises and shocks that interact, entangle and mutually re-inforce one another.[1] It typically leads to more drastic effects than the sum of the parts.[2][3][4] The concept was coined in the 1990s but became popular in the 2020s to refer to the effects of the pandemic, war, inflation, climate change, energy shortages and democratic backsliding.[5][6][7]
Critics of the term have characterized it as a buzzword or a distraction from more concrete causes of the crises.[6][8]
