The next SRRR Online Workshop addresses a question raised at the first workshop in the series: "Who is planning for a post-collapse world?" Our discussions considered that there is more than one impending system collapse. A cascade of collapses has already begun, is growing more severe, and is increasingly taxing the resilience of ecological, economic, social, and other systems.
