A new report seeks to build a coherent narrative about the roots of the 'polycrisis,' the signs of its arrival and evolution, and why we should be thinking differently about the future.

How do you describe the scale, the horror, the destruction, the suffering and the loss in a single word - the apocalypse?

I would like to see scientists start using that word, it just may have a bigger impact.

This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.


Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.
