 The launch of the first batch of the *Policy Brief series,* marked by a webinar organised by the Policy Work Package - as part of the PolyCIVIS Network, in collaboration with the [European Centre for Development Policy Management](https://ecdpm.org/) (ECDPM). The series informs and shapes the discourse on the multifaceted concept of polycrisis.

The *Policy Brief* aims to provide actionable insights and recommendations for policymakers at various levels and to foster dialogue among stakeholders on effective policy responses.

- **Policy Brief 1:**  ***From Polycrisis to Polysolutions: An Interdisciplinary Approach to Complex Global Challenges***
- **Policy Brief 2:** ***Humanitarian Aid in the Polycrisis: A Shift to Local and Systems Thinking Approaches***

Beyond these key topics, the broader Policy Brief series will cover essential areas such as environmental sustainability, social insurance, humanitarian action, the circular economy, and internal displacement.

### What to expect?

- In-depth presentations from leading experts.
- Engaging discussions with policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders.
- Opportunities to discuss effective and sustainable policy solutions.

Presenters:

Dan Schreiber, PolyCIVIS Policy WP co-leader, Doctor, Université Libre de Bruxelles
