Presentation by Professor Janet Stephenson on "Adapt or Collapse". Although humanity has not previously faced the current combination of global crises, there are plenty of examples of how societies have previously responded to local or regional polycrises (including environmental change). In some instances socio-economic systems collapsed, and in other situations they underwent radical transformation as a result of the crisis.

Professor Janet Stephenson discussed characteristics of these groups and what this means for humanity today.’
