I’m currently unsure of what to think about your claim that generalist resilience needs to be upscaled by that large factor. This is mainly due to being unsure about what proportion of efforts is currently being directed there. Do you know anything about the distribution of efforts already at generalist resilience?
Thanks for your comment! Yes I am not sure about this factor myself, it is not based on a comprehensive review of all EA efforts on global resilience relative to total efforts.
Checking OpenPhil’s Grant Database just now was not as conclusive as I’d hoped as grant categories such as ‘Global Catastrophic Risks’ or ‘Global Health & Development’ leave open whether these are spent on generalist resilience or specialist efforts.
Thanks for the write up.
