The world is increasingly characterized by polycrises, in which various crises reinforce each other, making it extremely difficult to resolve them: Violent conflicts, authoritarian regimes, climate change and refugee movements are mutually dependent and have meant that regions such as the Sahel, the Horn of Africa or Afghanistan have barely been able to escape crisis mode for decades, making an emergency situation endemic. The main victim is the local population, whose livelihood is being challenged on a daily basis.
