Ecosystem collapse recognised as a critical national security issue by UK government
The UK Government has just released a report that, if taken seriously, should transform how we think about climate, nature and security.

It applies the same kinds of methods used for high-impact security threats – structured uncertainty judgements, confidence levels, and “reasonable worst-case” planning – to the ecological crisis.
