While the world is now on the brink of an abyss due to global warming, a research has come from scientists that increases fear about the future. The research, which revealed that the end of the world is near due to the increasing population and the damages of the global economy, also determined the safest countries.
Human civilization is in a “dangerous state” due to the environmental damage caused by the energy-based global economy. Accordingly, a severe financial crisis, the effects of global warming, the destruction of nature, and a pandemic worse than COVID-19, or a combination of these, could unleash a global collapse.
So what would be the safest places in the world in such a situation?
In their research, scientists also identified the safest countries and places to seek refuge in the event of a global collapse. According to the shared information, these countries and places are New Zealand, Iceland, England, Ireland and the Australian state of Tasmania. New Zealand, which was at the top of the list, took the first place with geothermal and hydroelectric energy, abundant agricultural land and low population density.
The factors that played a role in determining the countries consisted of factors such as growing food for their populations, protecting their borders from unwanted migration, electrical grids and some production capabilities. Scientists also showed countries some things they should do to increase their resilience. A globalized society that values economic efficiency is undermining resilience, and spare capacity must be found in food and other vital sectors.
