As we collapse, this free online book provides examples of what action we can take collectively. Taken from academic literature, it’s about how we struggle together as the world we have depended upon contracts and decays. How will we work together as food and water systems breakdown? How can we act to secure alternate sources? Examples abound of #InsurgentPlanning in cultures and communities around the world. Start planning your #JustCollapse today!
Just Collapse 
While I don’t believe the inevitable collapse/implosion/explosion can be ‘planned,’ successful survival efforts (if there are any) will have to rely on ‘local’ resources. We will become the ‘new’ hunter/gatherers, or we will perish. BTW, the planet will be just fine, either way. Mother Earth has suffered far more devastating events than any our species has unleashed. It’s yet another human arrogance to think otherwise.

Our notion of a Planned Collapse is based on insurgent planning not on top-down master planning. Its about communities organising, planning and taking action for their basic needs are systems crumble and contract – like the survival efforts you suggest.
Unfortunately, the speed and scale of destruction worldwide means that there is no precedent for this collapse. With no time for adaption, perhaps something will survive, perhaps not.

As Homo selfishens breaches more planetary boundaries (climate disruption being just one of those) the results will show up not just via adverse weather events but through serious economic disruption. That will include worsening inflation, supply chain problems, crop failures, and debt default. The result will be increasing inequality, poverty and crime.
Conventional economics will attempt to explain these in the usual hand-waving terms, and fail.
Angry citizens will, as always, blame the incumbent government. In democracies this will lead to pointless lurching from left to right and back again, with – very likely – a gradual trend towards autocracy. In non-democratic nations, it’ll lead to a rapid clampdown on human rights and dissent. The end result, in either case, is dictatorship.
To that mix, add the increasing problem of mass migration from tropical states that are failing economically as well as gradually becoming unlivable due to climate disruption, and we have the perfect recipe for violent unrest in coming decades.
Any planning for a viable future must surely take this into account and try to educate the wider public; if we do that we might ameliorate the worst of it. If we fail, the future is fascism.
