The recent visit of Stoneleigh (aka Nicole Foss) to Ireland disturbed anyone who heard her speak about the imminent collapse of our global financial system. However, while delivering a compelling argument as to how we've gotten to this point and the inevitability of collapse, in her talk she gave little consideration to what will happen during or after such a collapse. While an unpleasant scenario to consider, we have an obligation to investigate it further. Does it mean the end of civilisation as we know it? What steps will governments take to avoid such a catastrophe and might they work, and at what cost?
The Anne Behan Community Sustainability Award for Transition Initiatives will be presented every year by Feasta, the Foundation for the Economics of Sustainability, to the community in Ireland which, in the opinion of a panel of judges, has done most to build local resilience, economic self-reliance, to strengthen itself socially and culturally and to protect and enhance its natural environment.
