If you were to unwrap the intersecting problems known as “the polycrisis,” you’d find climate change at the middle. Destructive floods, unaffordable energy, unsustainable debt burdens, and economic conflict between superpowers — the overheating of the planet plays a role in all of them.
This intersection of climate change, political economy, and global North/South dynamics are the focus of the work of both Carnegie’s Sustainability, Climate, and Geopolitics program and The Polycrisis platform hosted by Phenomenal World.
To kick off another hot summer, join the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and Phenomenal World online on July 1, from 4 to 5pm EDT, for a conversation between Kate Mackenzie and Tim Sahay of The Polycrisis; David Wallace-Wells of the New York Times; and Noah Gordon of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
Over the course of this discussion, each panelist will present one data point that encapsulates the polycrisis. They will take audience questions at the conclusion of the event.
