What is a mega crisis?

A mega crisis refers to a large-scale, complex, and often interconnected crisis that impacts multiple sectors, regions, or even the entire globe. It typically involves significant threats to public health, safety, or the environment, and can have far-reaching social, economic, and political consequences. Examples include climate change, pandemics, and geopolitical conflicts, which require coordinated responses and long-term strategies to address effectively. Mega crises often test the resilience and adaptability of societies and institutions.
