Thomas Homer-Dixon

Thomas Homer-Dixon is a Canadian author and researcher known for his work on the interactions between environmental and social systems, particularly in the context of crises. He is the director of the Cascade Institute at Royal Roads University, where he promotes interdisciplinary approaches to understanding and addressing the 'polycrisis'—a term he uses to describe the interconnected nature of global challenges such as climate change, political instability, and economic turmoil. Homer-Dixon advocates for better communication among experts across various fields to identify effective intervention points that can mitigate the impacts of these overlapping crises.
