Polycrisis. This rather disturbing term has come to be used to describe the current context in which our societies and politics operate. Broadly speaking, polycrisis describes a convergence of economic, social, geopolitical and environmental crises which together create systemic risks to the world as we know it. Regardless of the term itself, the EU's efforts to transition to sustainability now exist within such a context, putting environmental policy implementation under strain and calling for a balance between short-term responses and long-term sustainability goals.
