Polycrisis? What polycrisis? – How we’re reacting to a world in turmoil
We are going through a polycrisis – with multiple catastrophes playing out at once. But despite fuel costs, war and climate change – many remain optimistic. Is this a sign of delusion or pragmatism? Hannah Fearn is joined by Ben Page, CEO of market research leaders Ipsos, to unpack the psychological impact of our current crises, and why some look on the brighter side.
“Lots of inequalities have been exposed by the pandemic – you can’t move for crisis.”
“People have a tendency towards optimism bias.”
“If you’re a Western European, your mid-40s seem like the worst years of your life.”
