Cascade Institute: How Canada can limit Trump 2.0 impacts

Learn more about the Cascade Institute at Royal Roads University.  

The Cascade Institute – a research centre at Royal Roads University – is working to better understand our myriad and overlapping global crises. Their polycrisis team studies these entangled crises to find new solutions and intervention points that will disrupt the pattern of negative events and pursue “positive pathways” to better futures.  

With Trump coming back to the White House, Polycrisis Fellows Megan Shipman and Michael Lawrence wrote an article for the Globe and Mail on how Canada – and other adjacent countries – can prevent or at least lessen the dangerous reverberations of his second presidency.  

Here is an excerpt from the opinion piece:  

“Vicious cycles are not the inevitable, inexorable processes they may seem to be. Whether Trump 2.0 triggers and accelerates dangerous feedbacks around the world will ultimately depend on whether other countries act concertedly to anticipate, avoid, and break these cycles.”  

Their polycrisis team also recently released a report on the impact a Donald Trump re-election could have on the polycrisis, which indicated severe global risks.
