AfterHours webinar: Create a safe path to a safe earth

As the world enters an era of climate and ecological crisis, it is time for a historic re-imaging of how we think about and approach security. What could an emergency whole-of-society mobilisation look like? What if we decided to go for it? How do we prepare?

This talk will introduce PLAN E – a concept for a HyperResponse to the hyperthreat of the climate and ecological crisis. PLAN E involves new language, new concepts, and new security logic to help humanity recalibrate, reorientate, and reclaim our future.

These ideas can inform the medical sector’s strategic planning for planetary crisis.

Presented by Dr Elizabeth (Liz) G. Boulton whose doctorate work developed Plan E: A Grand Strategy for the Twenty-first Century Era of Entangled Security and Hyperthreats. This is the world's first climate and eco-centred security strategy and was published by the US Marine Corp University Press in 2022.

Liz is a research affiliate at the “Climate Change and (in)security project” which is a collaboration between the University of Oxford and the British Army. More information is on her website at www.destinationsafeearth.com

Her professional career began as a transportation officer in the Australian Army, deploying to East Timor in 1999 and Iraq in 2004. As a civilian, she undertook logistics and humanitarian work in Africa, later working in climate risk communication with the Australian Bureau of Meteorology.

Join Liz and she explains her doctorate and her path to proactive response to the climate emergency.
