  • The Planetary Phase Shift Framework

    3 weeks ago | ageoftransformation.org | Nafeez Ahmed

    Over the last 15 years, I’ve developed a comprehensive holistic meta-systems perspective on the unprecedented convergence of crises facing modern civilisation. The three key works spanning this decade are A User’s Guide to the Crisis of Civilization: And How to Save It (Pluto, 2011), Failing States, Collapsing Systems: BioPhysical Triggers of Political Violence (Springer, 2017), and my most recent Planetary Phase Shift theory paper (2024).

  • Everything Must Go: How to Phase Out Fossil Capitalism

    In a new post titled ‘Techno-Optimism Won’t Save the Day’ Rachel Donald of Planet: Critical offers a critique of my piece at Age of Transformation debunking the myth that energy transitions don't happen.

    In his new book, More and More and More: An All-Consuming History of Energy, historian of science Jean-Baptiste Fressoz marshals a vast array of data to make a startling case: that despite the widespread view that we are in an ‘energy transition’, we appear to be consuming more supposedly obsolete energy sources than ever before. Far from displacing fossil fuels, even while renewable energy is expanding, so too is fossil fuel consumption.

  • Tariffs, Turbulence and Transformation: Trump 2.0 and Planetary ‘Release’

    1 month ago | ageoftransformation.org | Nafeez Ahmed

    The world in 2025 is witnessing convulsions across governance and geopolitics – from trade wars to tech titans. These upheavals, exemplified by Donald Trump’s recent tariffs and Elon Musk’s role at the “Department of Government Efficiency,” signal a deeper civilisational shift.
