The Long Emergency

"The Long Emergency" refers to a period of sustained challenges resulting from declining fossil fuel supplies, climate change, and economic instability. These interconnected issues may lead to energy shortages, rising costs, and disruptions to daily life, economies, and the environment. The concept emphasizes the importance of adapting to these changes through resource conservation, renewable energy adoption, and resilient community planning to navigate a potentially prolonged period of societal transformation. It encourages proactive strategies to address future hardships rather than reacting only to crises as they occur.
