<br/><br/> We think we understand environmental damage: pollution, water scarcity, a warming world. But these problems are just the tip of the iceberg.  Food insecurity, financial assets drained of value, and a rapid rise in diseases of animal origin are among the underreported consequences of an unsustainable global system. In this volume, experts explore these hidden threats along with the central question of how we can develop resilience to  these and other shocks.
