From: Jem Bendell To: Jeffrey <[email protected]> Subject: My update on Deep Adaptation Date: Tue, 02 Apr 2019 13:18:35 +0000 Greetings Jeffrey Since I last wrote, there are now a number of ways you can connect and learn with others about how we might prepare for disruptive impacts of climate change. A Facebook group with 2000+ members is where people are discussing themes from psychological resilience to permaculture. We have also launched the Deep Adaptation Forum for people who work on this agenda, or who intend to. There are interest groups in a range of areas, from community action to coaching and from politics to education. Members of the forum can participate in Q&As, such as one I hosted last week. I will be teaching leadership on deep adaptation at the University of Cumbria in a short course in the English Lake District in July, and then online from October. You can ask me questions about this course in a month. We are also co-hosting a free one day event on the topic in Lancaster, UK, also in July, along with a dozen other public talks in 2019 (see below). Reaction to my paper on Deep Adaptation continues to amaze, with over 300,000 downloads of the pdf, and mainstream coverage, such as Vice magazine. If reading an academic paper isn't your thing then I recommend the talk I gave in Bristol. If you have experienced some difficult emotions arising from this topic, then my short film on my own journey through climate despair may be of interest. In addition, I have updated a page of resources on emotional support. The topic raises many issues, and so I have been blogging about different aspects. For instance, on food security on love and compassion within the deep adaptation approach, and on hope in the face of societal collapse. If you are able to host events on this topic, either within your community or profession, then you can apply for support from the Deep Adaptation Forum. Since the deep adaptation topic went viral, unfortunately I am not able to respond to the volume of emails I receive. A good way to find out more and work with others on the topic is through the new Forum. If you just want to be updated, then I recommend subscribing to the forthcoming Deep Adaptation Quarterly.
