This book discusses macroeconomic factors, crypto assets, non-bank financial institutions, and regulated financial service providers, highlighting that each sector can interact with others to create a cluster of risks with compounding effects.
This study investigates disaster management practices for complex disasters, emphasizing systemic risk management within community resilience strategies.
The author explores the concept of polycrisis, arguing that multiple crises expose the limits of industrial and colonial worldviews, which oversimplify complex systems into controllable models. The author proposes an adaptive political economy that embraces complexity, values local knowledge, and fosters decentralized innovation, advocating for dynamic, bottom-up processes driven by experimentation and collaboration.

This paper addresses a gap in foresight studies by proposing a new framework, “collective forward intelligence,” to analyze trends across ecological, social, political, and economic systems. It develops planetary phase shift theory, suggesting that humanity is at a critical turning point, with global crises signalling industrial civilization’s potential collapse or transformation.
The authors examine global catastrophic risks, prioritizing those with the highest cascade potential. Through a horizon scan, they identify 15 key risks, highlighting themes like cascading failures, threat interactions, flawed methodologies, and sociopolitical contexts. They propose strategies for prevention, mitigation, and adaptation.
