The world is undergoing a number of crises at the same time: military conflicts and wars, climate change, biodiversity loss, plastic pollution, inequalities, economic problems, supply chain failures, all together representing a polycrisis. What is the role of the extractivist economic model — in Russia and other fossil fuel-extracting countries, but also other economies all over the globe — in contributing to polycrisis and making the global situation worse for billions of people, wildlife and ecosystems? What can be done? Which stakeholders can change the situation and how can this change be enhanced and supported?
