class=MsoNormal>Объявление на конференции по климату COP27 о создании нового
фонда неизвестного объема для компенсации потерь и ущерба, возникающих из-за
климатического хаоса, означает, что может показаться, что политики и бюрократы
наконец осознают, насколько плоха ситуация. Так могут ли они догонять "Глубокие
адаптации"? К сожалению, ни один фонд никогда не сможет возместить потери и
ущерб, которые понесены - и будут понесены - в результате последствий изменения
климата и экологического кризиса. Ни одна международная валюта, банк или
платежная система, скорее всего, не переживет такого масштаба сбоев, когда
последствия глобального потепления действительно проявятся. Я только что
вернулся со своей первой и последней конференции по климату и не только испытал
это как упражнение в отрицании, но и испытал то, что становится непроницаемым
из-за количества людей и ресурсов, поддерживающих его множеством способов. Даже
критики COP27 и климатической политики в целом привязывают свои бюджеты,
заработную плату, навыки и статус к истории окончательного спасения от
климатического хаоса. Следствием этого отрицания является отсутствие взгляда на
коренные причины нашего затруднительного положения. Что также может быть
причиной для отказа. Так что давайте отправимся туда…</P>

class=MsoNormal>В своих размышлениях о КС я сосредоточился на том, как почти все
публично избегают обсуждения того, как капитализм ускорил катастрофу, разрушил
реакцию и, похоже, с этого момента все станет еще хуже. Тем не менее, в частном
порядке люди признают, что как причиной проблемы, так и отсутствием
существенного реагирования является "властный комплекс" профессионалов,
институтов, ресурсов, правил и культур, который создается капиталистическими
системами и воспроизводится ими. Я считаю, что недостаток внимания к капитализму
является ключевой проблемой для тех из нас, кто заинтересован в глубокой
адаптации, то есть в снижении вреда перед лицом социальных потрясений и
коллапса. Потому что ‘комплекс власти’ начинает искажать реакцию человечества в
новую эпоху разворачивающихся катастроф. Если мы стремимся уменьшить вред, мы не
можем сразу же отвернуться от активности по системным вопросам. Вместо этого
остается открытым вопрос - какой вид политической активности имеет смысл, когда
мы ожидаем краха обществ в ближайшей перспективе?</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"
class=MsoNormal>Для некоторых из нас принятие коллапса будет включать в себя
сопротивление комплексу власти и его растущему вреду. Некоторые люди справедливо
считают такую работу эмоционально болезненной, потому что она сложна, сопряжена
с личным риском и вряд ли принесет значительные результаты, особенно учитывая
вероятные короткие сроки разворачивающегося цивилизационного распада. Однако эта
эмоциональная трудность не является причиной не предпринимать таких усилий.
Потому что сильные эмоции неизбежны по мере того, как проблемы, сбои и срывы
будут нарастать в ближайшие месяцы и годы. Вместо этого мы можем стремиться
лучше осознавать свое отвращение к обременительным эмоциям и быть более
способными допускать их, не позволяя им определять наш выбор. Это поможет нам
заметить, когда мы могли бы рассказывать себе истории, чтобы на какое-то время
почувствовать себя лучше. Например, сосредоточение внимания на местном
воздействии может показаться более полезным, но это не избавит от боли, когда
местные успехи будут смыты будущей волной разрушения окружающей среды или
государственной агрессии. Вместо этого мы можем найти способы не привязываться к
желаемому результату и меньше испытывать отвращение к трудным эмоциям. Это
поможет нам во всех наших решениях, а не только в тех, которые касаются того,
как направить наше время на достижение позитивных коллективных результатов в
условиях все более ухудшающейся ситуации.</P>

class=MsoNormal>Представители тех общин, которые больше всего пострадали от
угнетения и разрушений, а также недавних климатических изменений, поучительны в
этом вопросе жизнестойкой активности. Они продолжают формулировать свою правду,
потому что это правильно, независимо от того, удастся ли этим изменить механизм
глобального капиталистического разрушения или нет. Солидарность означает
активное взаимодействие с низовыми группами, такими как Экологическая сеть
коренных народов. На КС они опубликовали доклад, в котором оспаривались как
практические, так и идеологические последствия доминирующего экомодернистского и
капиталистического подхода к климату, принятого сегодня большинством мировых
лидеров. Настало время заинтересованным людям, занимающим привилегированное
положение, заняться своим тщательным анализом и избегать любых бледных
имитаций.</P>

class=MsoNormal>Из моего эссе годичной давности, озаглавленного “Много ли значит
глубокая адаптация?”, я знаю, что некоторые люди отрицательно реагируют на
аргумент о том, что существует активистская повестка дня, с которой начинается
более глубокая адаптация к будущим или настоящим срывам. Я пока не видел особой
политической активности со стороны нынешних участников сетей глубокой адаптации.
Вместо этого, похоже, основное внимание уделяется эмоциональной поддержке между
участниками. Но знаешь что? Зализывание своих ран в конечном итоге делает вас
больным. Многие люди снова обретают жизненную силу только благодаря работе на
благо великой цели. Поэтому я верю, что скоро мы увидим новую волну активности
постпрогресса со стороны людей, которые больше не верят, что мы можем избежать
распада современных обществ. Независимо от того, возникнет ли это у групп людей,
которые сочли концепцию глубокой адаптации полезной, это произойдет
скоро. </P>

class=MsoNormal>В качестве противоядия от общего игнорирования или демонизации
СМИ предвосхищения коллапса в этом номере журнала Deep Adaptation Quarterly мы
исследуем, насколько серьезно этот взгляд, этос и рамки воспринимаются в
академических кругах. В обзоре, подготовленном по заказу этого номера Quarterly,
Дориан Каве рассмотрел исследовательские работы на эту тему за последние
несколько лет. Существует широкий спектр предметных областей, которые сейчас
ссылаются на ожидание коллапса или даже углубляются в него. По данным Google
Scholar, по состоянию на конец октября 2022 года на оригинальную статью Deep
Adaptation ссылались по меньшей мере в 295 публикациях, включая 138 журнальных
статей, 50 глав книг, 44 книги и 42 исследовательских тезиса. Это включает в
себя работу в области городского планирования, архитектуры, философии,
психологии, политологии, социологии, образования, искусства и литературы. В июле
2022 года рецензируемый журнал в области ‘архитектуры и искусственной среды’
даже посвятил выпуск теме глубокой адаптации. </P>

class=MsoNormal>Как нам подготовиться к медленному, но необратимому краху
цивилизации? Дейв Поллард считает, что ответ заключается в обучении людей
ключевым мягким и жестким навыкам. Он предлагает по 10 из них: некоторые, по его
мнению, важны для большинства людей, например, критическое мышление и разговор,
в то время как другие, возможно, понадобятся лишь нескольким членам каждого
сообщества. К ним относятся ткачество, ремонт велосипедов, а также выращивание и
консервирование продуктов питания.</P>

class=MsoNormal>Поллард более неуверен в том, как создать наилучшие условия для
того, чтобы миллиарды людей овладели этими навыками. Когда наиболее подходящий
момент для начала обучения (конечно, это не может быть “так поздно, что мы
пытаемся сделать это в обстановке хаоса”), кто проводит коучинг и
наставничество, и как мы можем сделать это легко и весело?</P>

class=MsoNormal>Кэм Фентон, бывший директор Канадской молодежной климатической
коалиции, а теперь с <A href="http://350.org">350.org</A> , соглашается с тем,
что организация по борьбе с изменением климата должна адаптироваться к
реальности: сначала нам нужно “создать движения, которые обладают ощутимыми
практическими навыками для защиты своих сообществ в случае климатических
катастроф, но также могут развернуться и мобилизоваться те же самые сообщества,
чтобы заставить правительство действовать”.</P>

class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'; FONT-SIZE: 12pt"
class=MsoNormal>По его словам, ключевым моментом является создание волонтерских
сетей организованных и обученных служб экстренного реагирования на изменение
климата. Далее Фентон предлагает трехкомпонентный подход - местная подготовка,
расширение прав и возможностей сообщества, создание движений – и приводит пример
того, как это могло бы выглядеть: “Организаторы должны обучать людей лечению
ожогов и вдыхания дыма во время лесного пожара в своем сообществе. Этим же людям
нужна поддержка, чтобы организовать свое сообщество и потребовать больше
финансирования и ресурсов для предотвращения пожаров в их сообществе. И это
сообщество должно быть частью национального движения, которое соединяет точки
между обострением лесных пожаров и правительствами, продолжающими финансировать
и разрешать использование ископаемого топлива ”.</P>

краткий обзор коллективного поведения людей перед лицом краха, затем приводится
довольно трогательный анекдот, который раскрывает источник названия статьи, и,
наконец, исследуются три макросистемных преобразования, которые должны произойти
для "перехода от одной цивилизации, которая умирает"., к другому, который
рождается”. Это, по его словам, требует глубокого сдвига в наших отношениях с
природой, друг с другом и с нашими новыми "я". Кроме того, “...единственным
наиболее важным рычагом для продвижения по нашему коллективному пути
трансформации является создание благоприятных инфраструктур, которые
поддерживают лидеров, граждан и сообщества в преобразовании их отношений с
добывающих на регенеративные”. Проверьте также, меняются ли внутренние цели
развития в направлении систем, основанных на сознании.</P>

недавние политические шаги в направлении более прямого управления экономикой:
запреты, национализации, нормирование, непредвиденные налоги и контроль над
ценами. Где эти меры хорошо продуманы? Когда они контрпродуктивны? Запись этого

class=MsoNormal>Глубокая адаптация с ее акцентом на устойчивость и отказ от
ответственности недавно была освещена в разделе Специального отчета печатного
издания The Economist (5 ноября <SPAN>2022 г</SPAN>.). Вопреки тому, во что
некоторые заставляют нас поверить, размышляет автор статьи, адаптация и
смягчение последствий не конкурируют друг с другом, а должны координироваться в
тандеме. Более того, “меньшая адаптация и больше страданий в бедных странах
неизбежно будут иметь последствия в более богатых странах”. Цены на
продовольствие могут резко вырасти, цепочки поставок разорваться, и
климатические беженцы будут требовать, чтобы их впустили. Что еще более важно,
для богатых стран просто несправедливо не помогать бедным адаптироваться –
“отказаться от чего-то по собственному выбору может быть актом смирения с ясными
глазами; быть лишенным этого в результате того, что сделали другие, больше
похоже на ограбление”.</P>

из своего эссе из двух частей о самых больших ошибках в области климатической
коммуникации. Их было довольно много. В конечном счете, это привело к тому, что
люди получают информацию о нашем меняющемся климате, не ощущая этого

class=MsoNormal>Бенделл сначала исследует проблему сосредоточения внимания на
“несравнимых средних значениях” - частях углерода на миллион или глобальных
средних приростах температур без указания каких-либо исходных данных, чтобы люди
не имели представления об относительном размере изменения или о том, что это
может означать для них лично. Например, средняя глобальная температура за период
1850-1900 годов составляла 13,8°C. Этот исторический базовый уровень в 13,8 ° C
был свидетелем максимумов более чем на 30 ° C во многих частях мира в то время.
Теперь, в 2022 году, при глобальном потеплении всего на 1,3 ° C по сравнению с
историческим базовым уровнем, в Великобритании были зафиксированы максимальные
температурные показатели в <SPAN>40 °C</SPAN>. Представьте себе тогда, что
повышение средней глобальной температуры на 3 или 4 ° C может означать с точки
зрения летних максимумов в ближайшем будущем?</P>

нашу тенденцию рассматривать глобальное потепление как нечто, на что мы должны
реагировать, потому что это поправимо (и мы можем это исправить), а не для
уменьшения человеческих страданий. На самом деле, нет никаких оснований
утверждать, что мы можем положить конец нынешней сложной ситуации или
предотвратить ее ухудшение, и благонамеренные, но чрезмерно сдержанные ученые
поступают неправильно, заставляя общественность поверить, что мы можем.</P>

чтобы преуменьшить неприемлемые риски, связанные с возникновением множества
климатических переломных моментов. Как и Бенделл, он утверждает, что “когда
риски носят экзистенциальный характер, необходимо уделять особое внимание
пониманию возможных наихудших исходов”.</P>

драгоценное время у рассмотрения того, что можно было бы сделать, чтобы иметь
значительный шанс уменьшить вред ...” Он добавляет, что “неоправданный позитив
добавляет оскорблений к травмам для молодых поколений, которые уже чувствуют
трудное будущее, с которым они сталкиваются”. Только при смелом, открытом и
честном общении в связи с климатическим кризисом больше людей почувствуют правду

style="FONT-SIZE: 16px">The COP27 climate
conference announcement of a new fund, of unknown
quantity, for the loss and damage occurring due to
climate chaos, means it might appear that
politicians and bureaucrats are finally getting
real about how bad the situation is. So could they
be catching up with the ‘Deep Adapters’?
Unfortunately, no fund will ever be able to
recompense the loss and damage that is being
suffered - and will be suffered - from the impacts
of climate and ecological breakdown. No
international currency, bank, or payment system
will likely survive the extent of disruption when
impacts of global heating really kick in. <B>I am
just back from my first and last climate
conference</B>, and not only experienced it as an
exercise in denial but one that is made
impenetrable by the numbers of people and
resources maintaining it in myriad ways. Even
critics of COP27, and climate policies more
generally, have their budgets, wages, skills, and
status tied to the story of ultimate salvation
from climate chaos. A consequence of this denial
is not looking at the root causes of our
predicament. Which might also be a reason for the
denial. So let’s go there…<BR> <BR>In <A

target=_blank>my reflections on the COP</A>, I
focused on how nearly everyone publicly avoids
discussing how <B>capitalism accelerated the
disaster, ruined the response, and looks set to
make things even worse from here on</B>. Yet,
privately, people admit that both the cause of the
problem and the lack of significant response is
the ‘power complex’ of professionals,
institutions, resources, rules, and cultures that
is produced by - and reproduces - capitalist
systems. I believe this lack of attention to
capitalism is a key issue and challenge for those
of us interested in <A

target=_blank>Deep Adaptation</A> - that is, of
reducing harm in the face of societal disruption
and collapse. Because the ‘power complex’ is
beginning to warp humanity’s response in a new era
of unfolding disasters. If we aspire to reduce
harm, we cannot immediately turn our backs on
activism on systemic issues. Instead, it is an
open question - <B>what kind of political activism
makes sense when we anticipate a collapse of
societies</B> in the near term?<BR> <BR>For
some of us, collapse acceptance will involve
resisting the power complex and its increasing
harms. Some people rightly identify such work as
emotionally painful because it is complex,
involves personal risk, and is unlikely to show
significant results, especially given the likely
short time frame of unfolding civilizational
breakdown. However, that emotional difficulty is
not a reason not to engage in such efforts.
Because <B>tough emotions are inevitable </B>as
problems, disruptions, and breakdowns increase in
the months and years to come. Instead, we can seek
to become more aware of our aversions to
burdensome emotions and more capable of allowing
them, without them determining our choices. That
will help us notice when we might be telling
ourselves stories to feel better for a time. For
instance, focusing on local impact can feel more
rewarding, but that won’t avoid the pain when
local successes are washed away in a future wave
of environmental disruption or state aggression.
Instead, we can <B>find ways of not being attached
to a desired outcome</B> and less driven by an
aversion to difficult emotions. That will help us
in all our decisions, not only those on how to put
our time towards positive collective outcomes
within a more widely deteriorating
situation.<BR> <BR>Representatives of those
communities that have been suffering most from
oppression and destruction, as well as recent
climatic changes, are instructive on this matter
of resilient activism. They continue to articulate
their truth, because it is right to do so, whether
or not it will succeed in changing the juggernaut
of global capitalist destruction. <B>Solidarity
means active engagement with grassroots groups</B>

challenged both practical and ideological
implications of the dominant ecomodernist and

pale imitations.<BR> <BR>I know from my essay
a year ago, titled “<A

target=_blank>Is Deep Adaptation Adding Up to
Much</A>?,” that some people respond negatively to
the argument that there is an activist agenda from
the starting point of a deeper adaptation to
future or present breakdowns. I haven’t seen much
political activism emerge yet from current
participants in Deep Adaptation networks. Instead,
the focus seems to be mostly on emotional support
between participants. But guess what? Licking your
wounds eventually makes you sick. Many people only
find vitality again through working in service of
a greater goal. So I believe <B>we will soon see a
new wave of post-progress activism</B> from people
who no longer believe we can avoid the breakdown
of modern societies. Regardless of whether this
emerges from groups of people who have found the
concept of Deep Adaptation useful, it is going to
happen soon. <BR> <BR>As an antidote to

target=_blank>How do we prepare for a slow but
permanent collapse of civilisation?</A> Dave
Pollard believes the answer lies in teaching
people key soft and hard skills. He offers 10 of
each: some he considers important for most people,
like critical thinking and conversation, while
others may need to be learned by only a few
members of each community. These include weaving,
bicycle repair, and growing and preserving
food.<BR> <BR>Pollard is more uncertain about
how to create the best conditions for billions of
people to adopt these skills. When is the most
suitable moment to start the training (certainly,
it can’t be <I>“so late that we’re trying to do it
in an environment of chaos”</I>), who does the
coaching and mentoring, and how do we make it easy
and fun?<BR> <BR>Cam Fenton, formerly
Director of the Canadian Youth Climate Coalition
and now with <A href="http://350.org"

target=_blank>climate organising needs to readjust
to reality</A>: we need firstly to <I>“build
movements that have the tangible, hands-on skills
to protect their communities in the case of
climate disasters, but can also turn around and
mobilize those same communities to force the
government to
act.”</I><BR> <BR><B>Establishing volunteer
networks of organised and trained climate first
responders is key</B>, he says. Fenton goes on to
propose a three-pillar approach – local
preparation, community empowerment, building
movements - and offers an example of what this
could look like: <I>“organizers need to be
training people to treat their community for burns
and smoke inhalation during a wildfire. Those same
people need to be supported to organize their
community to demand more funding and resources for
fire prevention in their community. And, that
community needs to be part of a national movement
that is connecting the dots between worsening
wildfires and governments continuing to finance
and allow fossil fuel
expansion.”</I><BR> <BR><B>The communitarian
spirit will prevail </B><BR>Tech elites 'in
Patagonia fleeces' are responding to world
events, scary headlines, and the endless
fascination of their own power by building luxury
underground retreats, hiring Navy Seals to protect

fast enough to escape from its own exhaust,”</I>
he writes. And there are plenty of others who are
eager to cater to these
billionaires.<BR> <BR>Ultimately, however,
<B>no amount of wealth or preparedness will enable
the selfish to survive societal collapse.</B>
Instead, it’s a “communitarian spirit” that will

This, he says, requires <B>a profound shift in our

target=_blank>The Economist (November 5,
2022)</A>. Contrary to what some would have us
believe, the article muses, <B>adaptation and
mitigation are not in competition with each
other</B> but should be coordinated in tandem.
Furthermore, <I>“less adaptation and more
suffering in poor countries will inevitably have
consequences in wealthier places.”</I> Food prices
could soar, supply chains break, and climate
refugees clamour to be let in. More importantly,
it is simply not fair for rich countries not to
help poor ones adapt – <I>“to relinquish something
by choice may be an act of clear-eyed humility; to
be deprived of it as the result of what others
have done is more akin to being
robbed.”</I><BR><BR><B>Climate comms urgently need
a revamp</B><BR><I>“We need to consider what has
gone wrong in communicating the reality of the
changing climate and what it means to all of us.
And then change how we communicate, and fast.”</I>
So says Jem Bendell in the first of his two-part
essay on <B>The biggest mistakes in climate
communications</B>. There have been quite a few.
Ultimately, this has meant that people receive
information about our changing climate without
truly <I>feeling</I> it.<BR> <BR>Bendell
first explores <A

target=_blank>the problem of focusing on
“incomparable averages”</A> - carbon parts per
million or global average increments in
temperatures without stating any baselines, so
that people have no idea about the relative size
of the change or what this might mean for them
personally. For example, the global average
temperature over the period 1850-1900 was 13.8°C.
This historical baseline of 13.8°C witnessed highs
of over 30°C degrees in many parts of the world at
that time. Now, in 2022, with a mere 1.3°C of
global warming relative to the historical
baseline, maximum temperature events of 40°C were
generated in the UK. Imagine, then, what an
increase of 3 or 4°C in global average temperature
could mean in terms of near-future summer
highs?<BR><BR>In Part 2, Bendell discusses <A
style="COLOR: #007c89; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; TEXT-DECORATION: underline"
href="https://lifeworth.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c58fbb0d721b1e5f3e4787bdf&id=5a779fcfd6&e=71dafbe961"
target=_blank>another emerging big mistake</A>,
our tendency to frame global heating as something
we should respond to because it’s fixable (and we
can do the fixing), rather than to reduce human
suffering. In fact, there is no basis for claiming
we can end the currently difficult, or prevent a
worsening, situation and <B>well-meaning but
overly reticent scientists do wrong to
‘brightside’ the public</B> into believing we
can.<BR> <BR>David Spratt offers a specific
example of how “<A
style="COLOR: #007c89; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; TEXT-DECORATION: underline"
href="https://lifeworth.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=c58fbb0d721b1e5f3e4787bdf&id=4045f4d7d0&e=71dafbe961"
target=_blank>science and politics collide in
science communication</A>,” in which language is
used to downplay the unacceptable risks of
triggering multiple climate tipping points. Like
Bendell, he argues that “When risks are
existential, emphasis must be given to
understanding the feasible worst-case
outcomes.”<BR> <BR>Ignoring climate reality,
concludes Bendell, <I>“steals precious time from
considering what might be done to have a
significant chance of reducing harm...”</I> He
adds that <I>“an unwarranted positivity adds
insult to injury for younger generations who
already sense the difficult future they face.”</I>
Only with brave, open, and honest climate crisis
communication will more people feel the truth of
our predicament and act upon
it.</SPAN><BR> </DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

is actually a new form of colonialism. It shows
that “<I>Financial instruments are an inadequate
tool to address climate change. By tying climate
change responsibilities to financial
institution-based development logic, the
expansion of capitalism is ensured. Financial
instruments entrench the chase for endless
economic growth, which is one of the root causes
of climate change.</I>” This is an important
reminder that the way the powerful are
responding to the climate emergency, as it moves
into an age of consequences and disruptions,
could make matters worse. This offers people
with some time and money on their hands, such as
the middle-class West, a chance to combine their
inner and local adaptations with global
solidarity
actions.</SPAN></P></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Association of Brazil’s Indigenous Peoples
(APIB) finds that Indigenous Amazon
communities - their health, safety, territories,
and cultural integrity –are suffering at the hands
of gold miners, many of whom operate illegally.
The gold is used in numerous electronic products,
including cell phones, computers, and electric
cars, and mega corporations such as <B>Apple,
Tesla, Samsung, Microsoft, and General Motors</B>
are supplied by two refineries under investigation
by Brazilian authorities for buying the illegal
gold mined on Indigenous
lands. <BR> <BR>Major US banks, too,
including <B>Blackrock, Vanguard, and JP Morgan
Chase</B>, are accused of funding ongoing logging,
mining, and infrastructure projects in the Amazon,
thereby adding to the misery of Indigenous peoples
and the degradation of their home. “<I>These
big enterprises are evil to the Indigenous

DAF</B><BR>Where is DAF going? What is it for? Has
this changed (and if not, ought it)? The Core Team
invests time in reflecting on what's happening
within, and outside, DAF, and what that means for
its purpose. To that end, we were ably supported
by Katie Carr in a process of 'Dreaming DAF' -
visioning and envisioning what DAF could become,
and stemming from that, what leadership qualities
could be a help or hindrance in getting there.
It's a never-ending process - adaptation never
ends, after all - and gave us some valuable
insights. We've continued strategising with other
facilitators and some interesting/challenging
ideas are surfacing.<BR><BR>In addition, we've
been looking at the types of alliances and
relationships we have with other organisations -
after all, you're only as strong as your network
of support. In some cases, we share community
members with those organisations; in others, there
are complementary skillsets and interests. There's
