Tasmania/Lutruwita is where Just Collapse resides. New research says it’s the safest place on Earth in a global catastrophe. That’s a worry! In a globalised world, we’re not that isolated, we are definitely not self-sufficient in food, democracy is under as much pressure as anywhere else, inequality is growing, and very little is decentralised. InsteadContinue reading “The safest place on Earth?”

What could a Collapse Camp look like where you live?
Collapse Camp 2026 has just wrapped up in Germany. A huge success by all accounts!

What is mutual aid?
Mutual Aid is an essential part of a Just Collapse. In addressing inequity and inequality, mutual aid can help house and feed people, build a sense of belonging and solidarity, and contribute to networks and movements standing against the far right and other forms of oppression.

Can we go green again?
Many who are aware of unfolding and irreversible collapse are familiar with the planetary boundary diagram. Updated periodically by the Stockholm Resilience Centre, the green center at the heart of the diagram is our ‘safe operating zone’. The spectrum of yellow, red, and purple signify how the boundaries of this zone are being transgressed, contributingContinue reading “Can we go green again?”
“I’m scared”: the conversation nobody wants to have
Excerpt from Tadzio Mueller’s forthcoming book: I’m scared of the future.

New article: Just Collapse and post-anarchism
If irreversible collapse changes politics and activism, what do we call this politics?

As a platform dedicated to socio-ecological justice in unfolding and irreversible global collapse, Just Collapse matters more than ever – because collapse is inevitable, but justice is not! Just Collapse has been through several iterations. The current articulation of a just collapse follows the passing of co-founderContinue reading “Just Collapse is back!”

Available at: In Collapse: When Insurance and Climate Collide | Springer Nature Link Preface – by Associate Prof Kate Booth I read Jared Diamond’s Collapse (2005) in my 30s.
