WHY

The ongoing global polycrisis underlines the entanglement of health, social, economic, cultural, environmental, ecological, and political crises mutually reinforcing each other and affecting both individuals and communities across the world unequally.

To address this polycrisis and the associated local realities, it is necessary to engage in collective action with a systemic and intersectional lens, working across disciplines to develop and share adapted, integrative, scalable, and long-term evidence-based solutions.

Such endeavour requires hope and ingenuity to engage in an equitable transition to low-carbon economies and reimagine a future of environmental justice between humans and with non-humans, as interdependent and part of the same ecosystems, in which both can flourish sustainably.
