Session 6 of 7 – Contending with Cascading Catastrophes

 A SRRR Online Workshop addressing a question raised at the first workshop in this series "Who is planning for a post collapse world?" 

Tuesday, October 1

7 - 9:30pm Eastern

Our discussions considered that there is more than one impending system collapse but rather, a cascade of collapses that has already begun, is growing more severe and is increasingly taxing the resilience of the ecosystem and human economic, social and other systems.
