00:03 My name is Nafeez Mossadegh Ahmed.

00:18 I'm an international security analyst.

00:20 I've published extensively on terrorism, imperialism,

00:23 and conflict.

00:24 And in trying to understand mass violence,

00:27 I've been looking more deeply at the systemic and structural

00:29 issues, such as climate change, energy depletion, food

00:33 production, economic crisis, terrorism as a phenomenon,

00:37 the state's militarization of foreign policy,

00:39 and how these crises interact with one another,

00:42 and how they can also aggravate and radicalize conflicts.

00:44 My view, having looked at a lot of these trends,

00:51 is that some of the most worrying predictions

00:53 are most likely to be true.

00:55 If you look at these things in their totality, what we're

00:58 seeing is industrial civilization is unsustainable.

01:03 And all of these different crises

01:04 are really just different manifestations of the fact

01:07 that this civilization in its current form

01:10 cannot survive the 21st century.

01:15 I think the urgent question that we need to be asking ourselves

01:21 is, what comes after?

01:23 What is the post-carbon, post-peak world

01:26 going to look like?

01:27 And that is really up to us.

01:50 Alert.
