"Scholars and commentators have recently begun to highlight how 
multiple, simultaneous, and interacting global stresses, such as 
demographic pressure, climate change, resource scarcities, and 
financial instability, are increasing global systemic risk 
(Beddington 2009, OECD 2011, WEF 2012, Helbing 2013, Pamlin and 
Armstrong 2015).

"They often describe the situation that humanity faces now and in 
coming decades as a "perfect storm" of simultaneous crises (Sample 
2009, Ahmed 2011, Ehrlich and Ehrlich 2013, Morgan 2013). Although 
evocative, this phrase implies that the crises align solely by 
chance. We argue rather that their simultaneity is a manifestation of 
an underlying causal pattern that is becoming more prevalent, and we 
elaborate a conceptual framework that provisionally describes this 
pattern."
