You are surviving a global social downturn

According to the Guardian, billionaires are buying land to build bunkers in New Zealand. The island in Oceania is a good place to prepare for a global collapse because, according to a new study, New Zealand is the best country to survive after a social collapse.

If you can’t get to New Zealand on time, the other first list of study includes countries like Iceland, Great Britain, Ireland and Tasmania. In other words: large islands in temperate climates. In the study, places that are expected to cope with a social collapse are called “collapse life boats”.

Countries were ranked based on their ability to grow food, protect boundaries and maintain the power system, and different types of products to determine which countries would be the most flexible in the event of a collapse.

“Dangerous state of the world”

Says Alet Jones, a researcher at Anglia Ruskin University and one of the people behind the study To the Guardian Based on the variables they chose to study, they expected to see countries like New Zealand above. These countries also have a decent ability to support themselves if current contact with the rest of the world disappears.

– We were a little surprised that Britain came so high. The country is densely populated, has outsourced most of its production, is not fast in developing renewable technology and can only produce half of its food on its own at this time. But Alet Jones says the country has the potential to deal with crises.

Researchers behind the study write that human civilization is in a “dangerous state” because of the interconnected and energetic society in which they grew up and the climate crisis it created.

The study considers that the efforts of the global community to regulate the economy show that the world has lost the ability to cope with a large-scale crisis and that society must begin to build its recession into a possible recession.

– We need to start thinking more about the regression in global planning. But of course, the best is that a rapid decline will never happen, says Alett Jones.
