The world faces a multiplicity of global catastrophic risks (GCRs), whose functionality as individual and collective complex adaptive networks (CANs) poses unique problems for governance in a world that itself comprises an intricately interlinked set of CANs. Here we examine necessary conditions for new approaches to governance that consider the known properties of CANs—especially that small changes in one part of the system can cascade and amplify throughout the system and that the system as a whole can also undergo rapid, dramatic, and often unpredictable change with little or no warning.

人类的安全治理空间：全球巨灾风险治理的必要条件

世界面临着多种全球灾难性风险 (GCR)，其作为个体和集体复杂适应性网络 (CAN) 的功能给治理带来了独特的问题，而世界本身包含一组错综复杂的相互关联的 CAN。在这里，我们研究了考虑 CAN 已知特性的新治理方法的必要条件——尤其是系统某一部分的微小变化可以级联和放大整个系统，并且整个系统也可以经历快速、剧烈和复杂的变化。经常在很少或没有警告的情况下发生不可预测的变化。
