Risks to civilization, humans, and planet Earth A global catastrophic risk is a hypothetical future event with the potential to inflict serious damage to human well-being on a global scale.[2] Some such events could destroy or cripple modern civilization. Other, even more severe, scenarios threaten permanent human extinction.[3] Natural disasters, such as supervolcanoes and asteroids, pose such risks if sufficiently powerful. Human extinction is a difficult subject to study directly since humanity has never been destroyed before; while this does not mean that it will not be in the future, it does make modelling existential risks difficult, due in part to survivorship bias. Classifications of risk[edit] Scope/intensity grid from Bostrom's paper "Existential Risk Prevention as Global Priority" The philosopher Nick Bostrom classifies risks according to their scope and intensity.[7] He considers risks that are at least global in scope and "endurable" in intensity to be global catastrophic risks.
