Launch of the Polycrisis & Policy Brief Series

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 (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.

Why attend?

• 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.
