Welcome to a
summary of recent opinion and activity in the
field of deep adaptation. This
independently produced, free publication explores
collapse risk, readiness, and response. We take a
critical perspective on the culture and systems
that led to our predicament, and celebrate the
solidarity amongst people in response. To

Collapse is the word on
the street (just not online)
Like me, at
some point in the past it probably felt too
painful to allow yourself to consider the
possibility that it’s too late to avoid
catastrophic damage to communities around the
world, including one’s own. Like me, you probably
still experience moments when it feels too
painful. I still distract myself from it - and
quite often. Maybe that’s why I have a passion for
English Premier League football! I’ve tended
to keep that one quiet. Someone just wrote to me
about feeling distraught and confused, and that he
envied my life with devotional music and regenerative farming. I’m about
to reply and mention that this summer I read about
all the football transfers and was wondering who
will have the best midfield this season. My point
is that we all have various ways to distract or
entertain ourselves, with some being nourishing,
others less so. We need to find what works for us
right now, without then lying to ourselves about
reality, or postponing the decisions we know we
need to make.
I might need to
take the decision to become far less bothered by
people not being able to face reality! They’re not
unusual, after all. And I was the same for many
years. But knowing the benefits that can come from
recognising the environmental predicament facing
humanity, it feels sad for so many of my friends
and colleagues to be duped by the two main
narratives being promoted by different factions of
capital today. One narrative is that technology
and enterprise will fix the problems and the other
is that the climate agenda is a total hoax. Big
finance, big tech, clean tech, big pharma and
nuclear are backing the former, whereas big oil is
backing the latter. Both narratives are popular as
they help to suppress anxiety. On the one hand,
the techno-salvation story offers a
path of calm obedience, and on the other the climate conspiracy story offers
a way to eternal self-righteousness. Yet both
stories lead to ineffectiveness and a lack of
attention to what is happening and what is to
come. It’s why I addressed this decay of public
dialogue during my speech to launch my book
Breaking Together. I argued that we need to
articulate a positive ‘doomster’ story
instead, where we celebrate the many of us who are
changing our lives positively and helping others
precisely because we believe we are in a new
era of disruption and collapse. But there is
no faction of capital behind that ‘doomster’
response - we tend to be rather post-consumer.
Maybe that’s why I was booted off Twitter without an
explanation and have been ‘shadow banned’ by other
platforms (the evidence and process of which I
explain in Chapter 13 of my book).
My
wish for greater civil society discussion and
initiative on the matter of societal disruption
and collapse is why I teach the online Leading Through Collapse course.
But beyond having skills and a clear strategy,
something far more simple is now necessary. The
suppression of information from collapse-acceptors
means that if we want others to hear about
positive ways of responding, we need to go back to
‘good old word of mouth’. That doesn’t occur
through social media anymore. Instead, we need to
contact people directly and make ourselves
available to discuss. So I recommend you forward
this newsletter to a few people who haven’t
already discussed such things with you, and offer
to chat. To help with that, I hope you find
something of interest in this newsletter. As
we didn’t reach our fundraising target for
producing the DA Quarterly every 3 months, from
now on it will be produced every 4 months or so.
So we have renamed it the Deep Adaptation
Review.
With ‘word of
mouth’ in mind, next year I will be going back to
that old modality of a book tour. I already know
the cities I intend to visit (see here) - as long as the world
and ‘yours truly’ are still functioning OK. I hope
I’ll get the chance to discuss things in person
with many of you. Perhaps we could even watch a
football match at your local
pub?
Warmly,

As a window on the
world of collapse, this newsletter reflects on
ways to find meaning, and to support the work and
healing of others.
| |
In the years since his
2011 book of future societal and economic
disruption due to environmental change, Paul
Gilding has remained positive that societies still
had time to lessen the harm and transition to a
more sustainable form. Until now. On September
3rd, he explained “we have hit a
multi-system tipping point – the “crash” that I
have long argued would trigger “the great
disruption”. We can now expect a destabilisation
of the global climate system at a scale that is so
chaotic, unpredictable and costly, it will trigger
cascading disruptive change in the global economy,
national politics, investment markets and
geopolitical security. The implications are
profound.”
Gilding's essay
provides a useful summary of the shocking
temperatures, droughts, fires, ocean current
trends, and impacts around the world over the last
few months. In reporting on this planetary
derangement, most journalists have turned to the
usual senior suspects for their self-serving
comments on the situation, as Matt Colborn noticed in a
September review. Unusually, one person who
describes himself as a ‘doomer’ appeared on CNN.
Professor Eliot Jacobsen had been producing graphs
of the latest global data. He managed to squeeze
into his interview that “we are witnessing the
collapse of industrial civilisation”.
Reporting on the interview, the CNN headline
writer preferred the more ambiguous-sounding claim
that 'we are witnessing the sixth great
extinction'. That can be reassuring if people
think Homo sapiens won’t go the same way as many
other species during this global extinction
event.
Some mainstream publications
have mentioned, in passing, the implications for
humanity of a destabilising climate and collapsing
biosphere. In August, Newsweek reported on an article by Professor William
Rees, warning that “Humanity could be on
the cusp of a civilizational collapse” including a
“major population ‘correction' before this century
is out.” As usual, the media journalists
watered down the message, saying “could be on the
cusp”, whereas the original paper plainly stated
in its subtitle, “... a Major ‘Population
Correction’ Is Inevitable” (emphasis
added). IFL Science reported on the same article
with the headline Big Population Crash Is "Inevitable"
And It Could Get Messy. The discussion of
a ‘population crash’ sometime this century
doesn’t, however, seem to land with us,
emotionally. Perhaps only when people realise it
means that tomorrow their supermarket shelves
might be empty, and that some of their neighbours
will be panicking, will any of this scholarly
analysis actually ‘sink in’.
A former Mayor
in New Zealand broke ranks in a national newspaper column which,
surprisingly, managed to carry the
title Time to give up on the false hope
and prepare for the worst from climate
change. A group of scientists said
something similar in their ‘expert statement’ in support of
the new Climate Majority Project (CMP): "In
truth, time’s up for ‘last warnings’ to prevent
major, irreversible climate
degradation." Interestingly, it was
endorsed by Dr Alison Green and Dr James Dyke, who
have previously critiqued other scholars for
making such claims. Perhaps this indicates a shift
is underway and a more serious dialogue can be had
in civil society about realistic futures. However,
the CMP avoided stating what “climate degradation”
means for the public they claim they don’t want to
protect from bad news anymore. In that sense, the taboo
remains, despite hundreds of scholars from over 30
countries trying to break through with regular public statements on societal
disruption and collapse.
Public letters
are no longer considered helpful by some
activists. We saw this in June when a group
of UK Academics asked the Royal
Society to “issue an unambiguous statement
about the culpability of the fossil fuel industry
in driving the climate crisis.” Citing the Guardian article about the
letter, the founder of campaign group Just
Stop Oil, Roger Hallam, tweeted, “It's 2023 and
the liberal class write a letter to call for a
statement. To condemn an ‘unprecedented act of
violence against humanity’. This is how liberalism
commits suicide.” He repeated his call for
scholars to participate instead in civil
disobedience.
Seeing the blight
at the end of the tunnel, some experts have begun
calling for a new global initiative on crisis
management. Australia's former Liberal opposition
leader, John Hewson, wrote: "it is
with mounting despair that I note several mega
threats to our planet and to humanity seem to be
simultaneously gathering considerable momentum,
yet governments and policy authorities are simply
ignoring the severity and urgency of the
challenges." Sir David King, former UK chief
scientific adviser and chairman of the Climate
Crisis Advisory Group, called for similar action, in
the form of a new UN agency to help nations cope
with disruption from climate change. These calls
resonate with those from hundreds of scholars in May 2022
for disaster risk reduction to become the
guiding paradigm for international
cooperation, rather than the myth of
sustainable development. Although multilateral
cooperation on global challenges is ostensibly a
good idea, the growing influence of multinational
corporations and billionaires over agencies within
the UN system will likely trigger an
understandable backlash. The very real concern is
that proposals to reform the UN will help it
become a conduit for authoritarian global
capitalist policies. Harris Gleckman, of the
Transnational Institute, said that “the UN’s vision
for the future involves giving corporate
executives crucial say in decisions. That is too
dangerous to be allowed.” To avoid the future
of the planet being a discussion limited to
elites, with their own interests and biases, we
need to see more honest engagement across civil
society on the real prospects of climate change
and its impacts.
The podcast
Planet Critical has emerged as an important
contributor to discussions within the field of
professionals and activists engaged in the
environmental and social dilemmas of our age. In
one episode, the host Rachel Donald interviewed the author of An
Inconvenient Apocalypse, Dr Bob Jensen.They
explored the painful ‘opportunity’ and need to
return to less hierarchical forms of social
organisation in the face of collapsing systems and
ideologies of
modernity.
Also focused
on the upside of breakdown is the organisation
Shareable. This US nonprofit describes itself as a
news outlet, action network, and consultancy for
the “sharing transformation — a global movement
of movements emerging from the grassroots to
address today’s biggest challenges.” They
explain that “Amid crisis, new and resurgent
people-powered solutions are democratising
communities. The solidarity economy, open source
software, transition towns, the maker movement,
right to repair, open government, public banking,
and participatory budgeting are just a few of the
movements showing a way forward based on
sharing.” They favourably reviewed the book Breaking
Together: a freedom-loving response to
collapse as demonstrating beyond doubt
that the time has come for us all to become
involved in local alternatives to both big
business and big
government.
Further bringing us
down to earth, literally, there were a variety of
articles about how to get ‘collapse ready’ by
growing food in one’s community. For instance, in
June, Sharon Astyk published an overview of
gardening for collapse. Five Kinds of Survival
Gardens covered different considerations
and methods, with a strong focus on considering
one’s community in efforts towards resilience.
These responses align with the peoples’
environmentalism that Shareable, Low Impact, and
other NGOs are promoting, but which is still the
poor cousin of the mainstream green movement. As
members of the latter, like Paul Gilding, embrace
the collapse agenda, there will be discussions and
disagreements ahead about what best to do in
response. In June, one co-founder of the
environmental campaign group Extinction Rebellion,
Gail Bradbrook, gave her view on the need to turn
to each other in community, in her speech What next for Climate
Movements?
In July, Atmos magazine chronicled the
mental health challenges faced by the most
affected by climate disasters in the Philippines,
and the need for community-based interventions to
address the issue. As an editorial team we are
aware that we need to put in more time to access
information from around the world on the subject
of collapse risk, readiness, and response. Even
when commentary on situations in different parts
of the Majority World appear to us, they do
so in the English language and in Western-based
publications. We therefore welcome any submissions for items to include
in our next review, which will be in January
2024. | |
Welcome to the Great
Unravelling: Navigating the Polycrisis of
Environmental and Social
Breakdown was released in June 2023
by the Post Carbon Institute. The organisation
has been at the forefront of English-language
discussions on the implications for societies
from environmental change. Their report
summarises some of the latest data, before
exploring what people can do in response. They
emphasise a need to maintain social cohesion
within societies and peaceful relations between
them during what they term the ‘Great
Unravelling’. The lead author of the paper,
Richard Heinberg, published an article that summarises
some of the ideas in the
report. | | |
|
Comedy is a well-known
way to both cope with and approach painful
topics and situations. However, it can also
belittle what we are dealing with. Two new books
addressed the psychological implications of our
predicament. A steadfast volunteer for the Deep Adaptation Forum, Terry
Le Page (MDiv, PhD), published Eye of the Storm: Facing climate
and social chaos with calm and
courage. It draws on experience of
years of discussing and collaborating with
people in the Forum. It therefore asks the tough
questions, such as: How do we bear the seemingly
unbearable? How do we find meaning and even joy
in the face of
collapse? | | |
|
Spinning Out is another
book on eco-anxiety, which came out in June
2023. Charlie Hertzog Young has a dramatic story
to tell of his own activism, overwhelm,
depression, suicidal ideation, and recovery. To
accompany the launch, he wrote an article on eco-anxiety that
links to a bunch of useful initiatives.
Unfortunately, the Deep Adaptation framework and
its many modalities and volunteers were
overlooked. This could be a reminder to continue
outreach to break through the increasing
suppression of discussion about societal
collapse. We need to find each other to be able
to learn from each other! Therefore, please
forward this Review to three people you know
who aren’t yet engaged in the DA conversation.
Forget using social media for this, as your
posts will not get seen by anyone other than
those already
engaged. | | |

A scholar on religion and
climate change, Ahmed Afzaal has a book coming out
on how to teach about societal collapse,
Teaching At Twilight. He describes it in his newsletter, which also links
to a powerful video summary of the book. The video
features an incongruous positive-sounding AI
narration, which ironically reminds us of the
emotional limitations of
modernity. | |
|
Samuel Alexander’s new
collection of essays is called S M P L C T Y: Ecological
Civilisation and the Will to Art. The first
instalment – the Preface to the collection –
offers a fascinating philosophical and poetic
background and perspective on our collapse
predicament, laying a formidable foundation for
Alexander’s premise that “humanity’s primary
obstacle is not an intellectual or evidential
one but an aesthetic one, related to our
sensibilities, felt needs, communication
strategies, and imaginative capacities.”
This obstacle is further seen as being an
“aesthetic deficit”, calling for an “aesthetic
revolution.” | | |

֎ July 10th, 2023, marked
the 50th anniversary of the publication of the
book Small Is Beautiful by EF Schumacher.
This was marked in turn by The Schumacher
Institute making the book Breaking Together free to
download from their website.
Additionally, the Schumacher Centre for a New
Economics progressed with its series of webinars. This
includes a free webinar on democratizing money
as a tool for resilience, on September
21st.
֎ The online course Leading through Collapse begins
again in November, with two cohorts, so that
people can join from any time zone covered. The
course is favoured by activists and executives who
want to adapt their leadership and communications
activities for an era of societal disruption and
collapse. It is led by Professor Jem Bendell and
Katie Carr, from the DA
Forum. ֎ That course is not to be
confused with Leading Through Storms, an
organisation which also offers courses on the
softer skills of collapse readiness. In addition
to courses, they organise monthly online gatherings on
various related topics. ֎ More relevant courses and
events are listed at the end of this Review,
provided directly by the team at the DA
Forum. Complete our form to submit details of your
own online event or course for consideration in
our next DA
Review. | |

Events like COP-27
signal the collective failure to imagine the next
steps. Let's inspire with new ways of seeing, open
windows to innovation, and reach through to
people’s hearts.

Sometimes mainstream TV
covers the phenomenon of people walking away from
their lives to try to live more sustainably and
offgrid. Sometimes those people explain their
actions as an attempt to become ‘collapse ready.’
One such segment appeared on DW TV, based on
a ‘doomer’ living outside Berlin. Unlike
some mainstream journalism, they do not lampoon
the doomer, but nevertheless argue against his
outlook in typical ways (by only focusing on
climate issues and relying on the IPCC for
assessments of risk).
Working
with Italian author and artist Darinka Montico,
our DA Review publisher Professor Jem Bendell
produced a Kintsugi World art exhibition. The
image production process was supported by AI and
each image relates to a chapter in his book
Breaking Together. The images will be
exhibited at the Ubud Writers and Readers Festival
in Bali in October. They appear at the start of a
video that includes the
introduction of the audio book. Jem explained
the Japanese idea of ‘kintsugi’ and why these
images were used, including for the cover of his
book, during a talk on Creativity beyond hope at a
cultural festival in the
Netherlands. | |

The Kintsugi Piggy
Bank accompanies Chapter 2 of Breaking Together,
on the topic of monetary collapse.

There is a long history of
apocalypse-related fiction, in both literature and
film. Some books, such as Ministry for A Future,
seem to be designed to promote reflection on what
we might actually choose to do in real life. As
collapse-awareness sparks existential crises, even
academics are getting into fiction! One short
story appeared in the academic journal SPOOL. The
authors say that “the following story is fiction,
not for entertainment purposes or to instruct
readers what to do, but to inspire their critical
faculties.” Reading it, you might appreciate
the sentiment that by working together and
building strong communities, we can thrive in a
different future. However, there is technotopian
hope, and some issues of equity and power don’t
receive full attention. Time to write your
own?
You could start with poetry. For
instance, the Ark collection of metaphysical
poetry presents a tour-de-force on the
inconvenient truths and permanent lies about
reality in our times of collapse in the hands of
“Imperial Modernity.” Here’s a sample from IN TIMAN-PECHORA (p.
17): | |

Its young—pockets emptied to Big
Pharma
Big Banks, murder-cop trials, neo-Nazi

The Adbusters group has a
long track record of cultural disruption in
defence of society against corporate rule. Their
new book reflects a new boldness from parts of the
environmental movement, in reaction to both
unfolding breakdowns and the hijacking of climate
concern by capitalists and technocrats.
Introducing their Manifesto for a World
Revolution, they say "The planet is on
fire, democracy under siege, and even many
hard-bitten optimists believe we are spiralling
towards a new dark age. Is there a way out of our
existential crisis? From the strategists who
sparked Occupy Wall Street comes an enthralling
field guide to a new world order. With the most
revolutionary tool ever invented in the palms of
our hands, a mighty grassroots insurgency -
borderless, leaderless, beyond Left and Right - is
coming together in a last-ditch We-the-People
stand." | |
RESOURCES
We are aware that there
needs to be a comprehensive online source of
English-language guidance and tools for the full
gamut of responses to collapse awareness. We don’t
mean a typically defensive prepper-type approach,
with lists of what to buy to survive a few weeks
during a civil war, but the broader agenda for
collaborative resilience. If you know of any
online resources like that, please contact us.
| |
We know of online
initiatives for engaging in collapse
conversations, navigating the challenges of a
changing world, and mobilising for a common good
(respectively). These include: www.justcollapse.org and www.postdoom.com and www.livinginthetimeofdying.com
and https://livingresilience.net. We
are also aware of initiatives that facilitate the
exchange of resources and skills between
individuals and communities, with experience or
anticipation of societal disruption, such as: www.transitionresourcecircle.org
and www.offersandneeds.com and www.lowimpact.org and www.shareable.net. Plus, we are
aware of initiatives that invite a radically
different analysis and politics at this time,
including Radical Ecological Democracy and
Gesturing Towards Decolonial
Futures. If you would like us to help share
information on relevant initiatives that can
empower collapse-accepting social action, then
please send it here.
Educational
resources aimed at children are needed.
Currently, we don’t know of relevant resources.
Instead, there is content like the newly-updated
National Geographic “interactive map” that
explores the 6th mass extinction. The map focuses
on various extinct, endangered, and critically
endangered species around the world and emphasises
the dominance of humans in bringing it about: On the Brink (NatGeo page) (Interactive Map page). However,
educational support that is more practically
focused on living differently in an era of
collapse, and avoiding manipulation, is missing.
If you know of any, please send us info.
Past
issues of this Deep Adaptation newsletter also
provide a useful resource, and you can find them
here. | |

NEWS
FROM DEEP
ADAPTATION FORUM
The Deep Adaptation Forum
is an online platform that emerged soon after Jem
Bendell’s paper, Deep Adaptation, was published in
2018. DAF is a collapse-aware community of highly
diverse people seeking to enable and embody loving
responses to our predicament. As our
societies, ecologies, and economies collapse, DAF
works to reduce harm and suffering through a
strong community of resilient, compassionate, and
active human beings. The following text is
provided to the Review by the DAF
Communications
Circle.
| |
Facilitated Support for
Collapse-Aware People
A major component of
the Deep Adaptation Forum is its
ongoing, regular online events such as Deep
Listening, Deep Relating, Grief Circle, Earth
Listening, The Spoken Word, Death Café, Wider
Embraces, and more. These facilitated events allow
DAF community members to witness their own and
other’s spectrum of emotions, to find solid
ground beneath their feet, to connect deeply with
one another and carry on, holding the perpetual
uncertainty that each day brings. Grief, joy,
laughter and rage, numbness, and meltdown find
safe spaces where self-knowledge can grow and the
DAF community can evolve. See all events on the
DAF events calendar. The Deep Adaptation
Forum is open to all walks of life and all levels
of collapse-awareness.
DAF’s New
Governance Model Takes Shape
In September,
DAF will launch a new sociocratic governance model
engaging a more volunteer-based and shared
leadership network. Many voices are heard, as a
small central circle - consisting of volunteer
representatives from six functional circles -
communicates directly with one another. This
General Circle and all other Functional Circles
are easily accessible to the wider community.
Also, in DAF’s efforts to include BIPOC and other
groups, they are experimenting with the Empty
Chair, an excellent practice to expand the
community’s awareness to include all those who
went before and all those to come; to hold the
living world - from stone to cloud - in our hearts
and minds. This practice also honours, more
specifically, those people and species who are
dying right now due to our predicament or are
suffering from the consequences of modern-colonial
injustice. The Empty Chair is present at all
meetings of all circles.
Deep Live
Gathering 2023 - We are the Life
The Deep
Adaptation Forum, We Are Here, and Relearn are promoting the Deep
Live Gathering, a live coming-together that will
take place in many different locations around the
globe between October 30th and November 5th. DAF
facilitator Igor Polskiy of Montenegro originally
initiated the Gathering, which is a multi-local,
non-commercial event where people can meet in
physical, virtual, and spiritual places. The event
will combine online and offline activities,
connecting virtually to the various Gathering
locations to share space and processes. Each group
will create their offline program collectively.
There are also rooms in the common program for
online processes for sharing with other groups and
individuals. From the Deep Live Gathering website:
"We invite people who are not in denial about
the situation and ready to live and to act
together in the world as it is. We invite people
of different professions and backgrounds,
especially activists, artists, researchers and
protectors of ecosystems, alternative education
practitioners, urban and rural community and
ecovillage members, thinkers, philosophers and
writers, social entrepreneurs, traditional
knowledge holders, psychologists and
psychotherapists, cultural workers, meditation
practitioners, natural beekeepers, forest
gardeners, seed savers, and farmers practising
regenerative agriculture." For more
information see Deep Live
Gathering.
