A New World Disorder?

Navigating a polycrisis

We’re entering a ‘new world disorder.’ We can no longer afford to focus on the big issue at hand, because there are many interrelated issues at play

 

As we enter 2023, we’ve emerged from a global pandemic only to find ourselves immersed in a looming financial crisis, a climate crisis, a war waged by Russia on Ukraine – which is causing an energy crisis – and long-standing inequalities blooming into geopolitical crises around the world.

“The biggest concern: an economic crisis that is sharpening an economic divide and raising questions around the role of business. The major challenges facing people give businesses and institutions a clear mandate to offer plans and solutions, which will differ from market to market.”
