Permacrisis

"Permacrisis" is a term used to describe a state of ongoing crisis or instability in which a society or ecosystem is unable to achieve a sustainable balance. It is a portmanteau of "permanent" and "crisis".

The concept of permacrisis is often applied to environmental issues, such as climate change, deforestation, and biodiversity loss, as well as social and economic issues, such as inequality, poverty, and political instability. It suggests that these problems are not temporary or isolated, but rather represent a systemic failure to achieve sustainable development.

The term "permacrisis" emphasizes the need for long-term, systemic solutions to address these complex and interconnected problems, rather than relying on short-term fixes or band-aid solutions. It also suggests the urgency of taking action to prevent further damage and to promote resilience and sustainability in the face of ongoing challenges.
