With countries fighting wars and natural calamities sweeping away civilisations, it seems a global collapse might be a spark away. But the possibility of entire humanity vanishing off the face of Earth seems a little less plausible with the years of effort we have spent preparing solutions for such situations. However, not everyone can be saved. The situation seems like a classic battleground for Charles Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest. But who is the fittest of them all? Which countries will be able to survive famines, earthquakes and anything that comes their way?Two peer-reviewed studies identified a group of seven island nations that are the most resilient in terms of maintaining a society or food production during extreme global collapse scenarios, as per a report by Daily Galaxy. An analysis published in Sustainability in 2021 assessed which countries would be able to preserve complex social and technological systems after a widespread international crisis. The researchers utilised data from the Global Adaptation Index of the University of Notre Dame, known as ND-GAIN. This indicator measures nations’ preparedness and vulnerability to environmental changes.Based on...
