Deep Adaptation – Navigating the Realities of Climate Chaos by Jem Bendell & Rupert Read

January 3, 2022
Every other Monday
9:00 – 10:30 am PT / 12:00 – 1:30 pm ET

Three years after his 2018 article on ‘deep adaptation’, which went viral (more than 1 million downloads), Jem Bendell co-edited this essential book which includes chapters by Joanna Macy, Jonathan Gosling, Charlotte Simpson and others. ‘Deep adaptation’ refers to the personal and collective changes that might help us to prepare for – and live with – a climate-influenced breakdown or collapse of our societies. The authors demonstrate the caring and creative ways that people are responding to the most difficult realization with which humanity may ever have to come to terms. Elders for Regenerative Living is using this book as a key source of inspiration for the design of its upcoming Regenerative Elder Program.
