Could climate change cause global societal collapse or even human extinction? Good risk management requires knowledge of worst-case scenario. But for climate change our knowledge of such futures is underdeveloped. This talk will discuss the reasons to believe that climate change could cause global catastrophe, review the most relevant research areas, and outline a research agenda for exploring the worst implications of climate change. The Risk-KAN leaders envision this webinar as a way to learn about new ideas and diverse perspectives at the interface between palaeoclimatology, palaeoecology, archaeology, and history, and to spark cross-project and cross-disciplinary discussion – not least in relation to the science-policy interface.

Please let Felix Riede ([email protected]) know if you would like to present something yourself at future event.

Time: 7:00 - 8:00 UTC.
