Contemporary society is shaped by intertwined processes (climate change, pandemics, conflicts, migration, technological transformations) that generate experiences of uncertainty. The study examined how young adults in Slovenia understand, connect and situate these processes within their own capacity for action. It was based on eight focus groups (N = 30; aged 20–25), analysed using thematic analysis. Participants perceived these processes as cumulative dynamics, with responses structured by tensions between understanding and perceived influence, involvement and distance, and individual and systemic responsibility. Personal relevance emerged via biographical, generational and discursive frameworks. The study contributes to understanding young people as active interpreters of intertwined uncertainties.
