Inequality’s contribution to global catastrophic risk
Inequality is rising and so is global catastrophic risk. These two problems are not independent from each other. Inequality has historically been a major driver of social instability, and is increasing the risk of global catastrophes today. We demonstrate this by drawing on the rich literature around societal collapse and global catastrophe from both ...

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Conventional continuous plants use fixed‐capacity equipment, resulting in high capital risk and suboptimal performance under fluctuating demands. To address these, this study proposes an integrated framework for modular process design and supervisory control capable of adapting to demand uncertainty for long‐term economic viability.

3. Classifying Global Catastrophic Risk
Identifying a lack of satisfactory methodologies for classifying Global Catastrophic Risk (GCR) scenarios, this chapter proposes a new classification framework which draws together multiple areas of knowledge. The suggested framework categorises GCR scenarios according to the critical systems affected, the mechanism by which the thread is spread ...
