Growing global crises will dominate our lives and the lives of our children

Over the next few decades the collapse of major ecosystems will accelerate, negatively affecting the human economies that depend on them. If the industrial system with its expansionist consumer culture continues to degrade the environment, growing economic and social crises will inevitably destroy civilization as we know it.

However, positive outcomes are also possible. Sustainable values, theories, technologies and social organizations are emerging. These are networking together and beginning to develop post-industrial societal structures and economic processes.

Humanity has the potential to transform the existing unsustainable system into a sustainable system.

These trends are explored in Collapse and Transformation and Evolution’s Edge.
