Highlights
- The special issue brings together a wide range of research on existential and catastrophic risk.
- Research into existential and catastrophic risk is increasingly multi-disciplinary and broad in scope.
- We consider how existential risk is conceptualized as well as challenges in communication, responsibility and epistemology.
This paper was published in a Special Issue of Futures edited by Dr Adrian Currie, which collected many papers which were originally presented at our first 2016 Cambridge Conference on Catastrophic Risk in 2016.
