Examines how overlapping global crises, including economic shocks, climate-related events, conflicts, and health emergencies, interact to deepen poverty and vulnerability. Combining theoretical analysis with empirical evidence, the book explores poverty dynamics during periods of multiple and interconnected crises and assesses the capacity of households and communities to cope with adversity. It also presents policy and programmatic strategies designed to promote resilience, reduce vulnerability, and support sustained poverty reduction in an increasingly volatile global environment.
