A whole series of risky, interrelated environmental changes threaten the well-being of the planet and human livelihoods. In current times, acute as well as long-term, latent crises emerge and exist interdependently and parallelly. Acute crises, like violent conflicts, humanitarian crises or unexpected disasters, need rapid joint action and response. Long-term crises, like the climate crisis, additionally pose serious challenges to the entire globe.
While it might be difficult to draw a clear line between the different forms of crises, both simultaneously need social and political handling to address the increasingly dysfunctional relationship between people and their social and political environment. The goal of the conference “How to Deal with Environmental Crises? The Interdependence of Acute and Latent Challenges in Times of Polycrisis” of the Leibniz Research Network “Environmental Crisis – Crisis Environments: The Contestation and Governance of Environmental Changes as Crisis” (CrisEn) is to discuss how acute and latent crises can be dealt with together. The network generally analyses various forms of crisis and discusses how specifically changes in the environment are understood and/or (not) conceptualised as crisis. Fifteen different institutes of the Leibniz Association study this broad topic from an interdisciplinary angle.
The conference deals with theoretical approaches as well as with concrete empirical cases of acute and less acute crises as well as their interactions. The conference brings together senior experts and early career researchers and it invites active practitioners in order to discuss viable policy implications with them.

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
