Collapse is inevitable. Having passed through the first of Schopenhauer’s three stages, this dawning reality will likely meet with violent opposition before it is recognised as self evident. #TalkCollapse for socio-ecological justice. Talk collapse for a #JustCollapse.

Join #JustCollapse in conversation with David Swanson (World Against War), Dr Liz Boulton (Destination Safe Earth), and Liz Remmerswaal Hughes (Code Pink). As collapse intensifies, so do conflicts over diminishing resources. How can we pursue socio-ecological justice given the power of the war machine? #TalkCollapse To register for this free online event HERE

Scientists say we need to #TalkCollapse. We argue that this emerging science must not shy away from ‘doom-saying’ as the consequences of #overshoot defy simplistic analysis: “Although a body of scientific research exists on historical and archeological cases of collapse, discussions of mechanisms whereby climate change might cause the collapse of current civilizations has mostlyContinue reading “Scientists #TalkCollapse”

Two plans for a #JustCollapse. One, bottom-up via #InsurgentPlanning and the other, top-down via PLAN E. In mid-October, Dr Liz Boulton speaks about PLAN E – how to enact a community climate and ecological emergency response. As Liz outlines in this podcast, it’s one of the most equitable and holistic approaches to planning for climateContinue reading “Bottom-up or top-down?”
