Deep Adaptation: A Map for Navigating Climate Tragedy
The purpose of this conceptual paper is to provide readers with an
opportunity to reassess their work and life in the face of an inevitable nearterm social collapse due to climate change.
The approach of the paper is to analyse recent studies on climate change
and its implications for our ecosystems, economies and societies, as
provided by academic journals and publications direct from research
institutes.
That synthesis leads to a conclusion there will be a near-term collapse in
society with serious ramifications for the lives of readers. The paper reviews
some of the reasons why collapse-denial may exist, in particular, in the
professions of sustainability research and practice, therefore leading to
these arguments having been absent from these fields until now.
