We are living in a period of global volatility in which intersecting crises are combining with devastating impacts for people already living in and near poverty. This book carefully examines the dynamics of these crises and challenges us to find new ways forward for policies and programming that more effectively meet the needs of the world's most vulnerable populations.

The book highlights lived experiences of those who are impacted most by poverty amidst intersecting crises--namely climate-related disasters, violent conflict and economic instability-- drawing on the author's 15 years of experience in sub-Saharan Africa and South and Southeast Asia. It examines chronic poverty amidst intersecting crises, highlighting how new impoverishment may emerge, and even surprisingly how some people manage to escape or remain out of poverty in these contexts. It offers a multi-scalar, dynamic investigation of poverty and intersecting crises to identify ways forward for policies and programming.

It is an essential read for practitioners working on poverty and inequality reduction in low- and middle-income countries, as well as for researchers and students of global development, environmental and peace studies, and economics, public policy, and sociology more broadly.

Vidya Diwakar is Deputy Director of the Chronic Poverty Advisory Network, and a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Development Studies, UK.
