Ideal for readers interested in climate change, environmental activism, and those seeking thoughtful, emotionally intelligent approaches to societal collapse and adaptation.

"A new agenda for how we can prepare for societal collapse in an age of climate chaos"--

Description

Deep Adaptation refers to the personal and collective changes that might help us prepare for – and live with – a climate-influenced breakdown or collapse of our societies. It is a framework for responding to the terrifying realisation of increasing disruption by committing ourselves to reducing suffering while saving more of society and the natural world.

This is the first book to show how professionals across different sectors are beginning to incorporate the acceptance of likely or unfolding societal breakdown into their work and lives. They do not assume that our current economic, social, and political systems can be made resilient in the face of climate change. Instead, they demonstrate the caring and creative ways that people are responding to the most difficult realisation with which humanity may ever have to come to terms.

Edited by the originator of the concept of deep adaptation, Jem Bendell, and a leading climate activist and strategist, Rupert Read, this book is the essential introduction to the concept, practice, and emerging global movement of Deep Adaptation to climate chaos.
