Although I resigned my academic position to increasingly focus on local resilience efforts in the country I have now emigrated to, Indonesia, during 2024 I will continue to share thoughts on collapse risk, readiness and response. I will do that in four ways – essay writing, podcast interviews, public lectures, and short courses. As long as world systems hold together until March 2025, and I stay fit and well (!!), then I will be speaking and teaching in Australia, Belgium, Hungary, Mexico, Switzerland, Germany, UK and the USA. In Belgium in March, I will be joined by Satish Kumar and Pablo Servigne. In April in Budapest I will be celebrating 5 years of the Deep Adaptation movement in the country with the largest national group.
My keynote talk Mexico in October will mark the launch of the Spanish language version of Breaking Together. Then I will head to Oakland (California) that month to teach. In November I will present at some international NGOs and the United Nations, in Geneva, which will also include the launch the French version of the book, before I head to Berlin to present there. I will conclude my book tour in Brazil in early 2025, to launch the Portuguese translation of the book.
Aside from events in those locations, I will teach an online course “Leading Through Collapse” twice a year, scheduled to be suitable for any time zone. Any income from these activities already has a destination… the regenerative farming school I’m co-developing here in Bali.

My aim with these events around the world is to support people who are bringing collapse-awareness to their professions and public, in different regions and languages. This is the first international tour I am doing for 7 years, and I don’t intend to do another for many years, if ever. Therefore, I don’t feel guilty about the flying involved, as, like me, I still encourage people to fly less and fly effectively i.e. we should think about what we are trying to accomplish. Of course, that is how we can reflect on why we do anything that has an impact on the environment. Having a better reason to travel than the largest polluter in the world, which is the US military (not including proxy wars), probably isn’t a high enough bar to set for ourselves, although puts things in perspective 😉
