The Cascade Institute is a Canadian research institute based at Royal Roads University in British Columbia. It is led by political scientist Thomas Homer-Dixon. The Institute’s research examines the Polycrisis (interacting and mutually amplifying global crises) and proposes solutions.[1]
Research and analysis
The Cascade Institute has been associated with research and analysis on polycrisis, systemic risk, and geopolitical instability.
The institute conducts research and policy-oriented discussion on how multiple global challenges — including climate change, democratic decline, political polarization, and economic instability — can interact to amplify systemic risk.[1]
The Institute is developing the Polycrisis Core Model, which explores large numbers of possible future outcomes and identifies a small number of relatively stable future scenarios.[2]
Media coverage
In January 2026, Homer-Dixon conducted interviews with outlets including CBC News and Bloomberg News, expanding upon ideas in an op-ed in The Globe and Mail about the renewed threat of American coercion against Canada .[3][4]
Columnist Thomas L. Friedman wrote in The New York Times about the “Polycene,” a term used to describe an era of interlocking global crises, referencing Homer-Dixon’s work on cascading global systems.[5]
In January 2026, The Guardian described the Cascade Institute "a Canadian thinktank that studies global crises" in an article quoting Thomas Homer-Dixon about rising geopolitical tensions between the United States and Canada and the broader risks of systemic instability.[6]
