Polycrisis – Root Causes and Governance Solutions

Timo Hämäläinen

Published 2025 in World Futures : Journal of General Evolution

ABSTRACT

Abstract The current polycrisis creates fundamental anxiety and uncertainty in societies. Individuals, organizations, governments and multinational institutions are struggling with the increasingly complex and uncertain environment without a clear vision of how to govern or renew their institutions. This paper analyzes the root causes of polycrisis and provides a framework for adaptive governance at different levels of society. The framework is based on the Law of Requisite Variety and shared transformative learning processes. It provides governance principles for social innovators who develop sustainable governance solutions for the future. These principles are elaborated with a case study on the Brainport-Eindhoven innovation ecosystem.
