Crises spurring from climate to geo-political to social and technological threats, as pointed to by Morin and Kern, who coined the term ‘polycrisis’, and by Rockstrom et al., who conceptualized the ‘planetary boundaries’, call for innovative regulatory and governance frameworks. Such interventions are needed to address the multiple unequal and unjust consequences of such crises. The effects of such crises are indeed often unevenly distributed across regions, sectors, and society, as pointed out by Dawson.
