On Tuesday, October 3 at 8:00 p.m., in the Josefina Soria Library of the Ramón Alonso Luzzy Cultural Center, Jorge Riechmann will open the new quarter of events scheduled by Cartagena Think for this quarter.
His talk has the haunting title of "The collapse is not the end of the world: clues for a strategic reflection".
In the second decade of the twenty-first century, there are indications that there will be no reasonable socioecological transitions: the opportunity for that was lost in the 1970s and the world is headed towards the collapse of industrial societies.
Now, the collapse of a society does not necessarily imply an apocalypse or the end of the world.
It is the end of one world, and then others will come.
Riechmann asks, how do we deal with these circumstances?
How do we act today to avoid all the suffering we can in the turbulent times that come?
