Global Catastrophic Risk
Global Catastrophic Risk refers to events that could cause widespread harm or destruction, affecting millions of lives and the environment. These risks can arise from natural disasters, such as earthquakes or pandemics, as well as human-made threats like nuclear war or climate change. The potential for these events to disrupt societies and economies makes understanding and mitigating them crucial.
Addressing Global Catastrophic Risk involves collaboration among governments, scientists, and organizations. Efforts include developing early warning systems, promoting sustainable practices, and enhancing global cooperation. By identifying and preparing for these risks, societies can better protect themselves and future generations from severe consequences.
