Global Crisis Response Strategy (GCRS) as model Strong Sustainable Response to Global Crisis
GCRS serves as a model Strong Sustainability response or super-narrative that scores in the upper right-hand quadrant of the TERRA framework. That is, it is designed to succeed in terms of its Framework coherence, multi-dimensional risk assessment criteria and active exploration of post-collapse New Paradigm. GCRS defines Global Crisis as a holistic crisis that factors the collapse of both civilization and the Planet, including all relevant triggers to collapse, such as ecology, energy, economy/finance, civilizational complexity, geo-political tensions, run-away exponential tech risks, cultural polarization, etc. As we know each of these risks are close to breaching their tipping points at any time, due to anthropogenic or natural triggers. Such a holistic risk-framing further clarifies why GIC is both structurally unsustainable and irreparable.
Given such realities, humanity can expect three potential trajectories or scenarios
Scenario 1: BAU response measures will lead to civilizational and planetary collapse (sinking of the Titanic along with all its passengers)
Scenario 2: Weak Sustainability measures or attempts to fix GIC using techno-market measures will lead to the following simultaneous scenario:
a. A general collapse for most life on Earth i.e resource-impoverished, desperately militarized, post fossil-energy human societies (sinking of most passengers on the Titanic)
b. De-population & trans-humanism (Yacht or Armed Life-boats Civilization that sustains few ultra-elites)
Scenario 3: Strong Sustainability measures will lead to an alternative ecological future characterized by radically reduced energy-material throughput, complexity, and population, which can be powered by traditional renewable energy systems (lifeboats for many passengers of the Titanic)
GCRS offers reasonable arguments to demonstrate why Scenario 3 is the most survivable and desirable response measure. It aspires to provide a solid action blueprint that delineates both pre-figurative transition and post-collapse strategies to materialize Scenario 3.
