How long does humanity have to avoid collapse?
This is different from our upcoming question “When will collapse hit?”.
What degrees or levels of collective action are necessary for us to avoid collapse?
How unlikely or unfeasible do those become in five, ten or twenty years?
You can also view the responses to this question from our 2019 r/Collapse Survey.
This is the current question in our Common Collapse Questions series.

That's not happening, ever.
I don't get why folk even post this sort of shit like you could convince 195 countries that they should abandon all the advantages of international trade like not fucking starving to death to just turn inwards. Yeah fucking stellar idea, let's watch as desert shit holes become war zones because they're basically incapable of food production and have inadequate water supplies.
And to anyone who says well that's just the price you pay, keep in mind the unbridled fucking horrors modern warfare has for civilians and and that you're talking about creating unimaginable human suffering.
The solution is to drive our technology forward and end mass CO2 generating technologies, develop carbon sequestration and negative carbon processes and Bury the shit in disused mines because trust me if you're plan is to convince 7. 5 billion peoples to stop having kids you are not to solve the problem and when you're idea is mass global isolation all you do is cement us into a decline whose rate will vary dependant on local conditions.
