Society is always at risk of experiencing substantial disruption from external factors, as COVID-19 demonstrated. There are several ways in which disruption could come about:
• Economic collapse, with a recent relatively mild example being the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
• Environmental collapse from the breaching of some of the Stockholm Resilience Centre's nine planetary boundaries, one of which is climate change.
• A localised natural disaster such as a hurricane, earthquake, flood or bushfire.
• High-tech threats such as cyber-attacks.
• Less obviously, the breaching of a tipping point through ever-increasing inequality, technological over-complexity or diminishing energy return on investment (the "net energy cliff").
Disruption, or less confrontingly "change", is inevitable. The question is how we cope with it, and community-based approaches can be both palatable and effective.
