Extinction-level events outside of biorisk and nuclear catastrophes
Biorisk and Recovery from Catastrophe
In order to prepare for worst-case catastrophes, we need to anticipate them. Biological weapons and nuclear catastrophes are two well-identified threats to humanity’s long term survival, as is climat change. However, there may be emerging risks that are yet to be addressed by policymakers or the EA community.
We’d be interested in convincing works highlighting credible, large-scale risks that are overlooked by most forecasters and the EA community, as well as any recovery strategies that are applicable.
