This paper examines how contemporary climate crises disrupt existing crisis governance arrangements and undermine collaborative capacity. Using the 2019–2020 Australian “Black Summer” bushfires as a prototypical case, the authors identify five mechanisms of disruption: stretching, blurring, fracturing, ossifying, and improvising.
