About the GCR Club:

The Global Catastrophic Risk (GCR) Club focuses on raising awareness and understanding of global catastrophic risks. The club provides a platform for students to explore and analyze various risks that have the potential to cause severe harm on a global scale. Through discussions, research, and collaborative projects, club members develop critical thinking skills, interdisciplinary collaboration, and ethical reasoning, preparing them to address complex challenges and contribute to building a resilient future.

Club Structure & Operation:

The Global Catastrophic Risk (GCR) Club operates through a structured framework consisting of modules, each dedicated to exploring a particular global catastrophic risk. Each module is divided into four sections, allowing students to delve into various GCRs over time and gain a comprehensive understanding of the challenges they pose.

1. Introduction: In this section, club members will be introduced to the selected GCR, including its background, potential consequences, and relevant scientific or policy developments. They will explore the significance of the risk and its potential impact on society.
2. Analysis and Research: Students will engage in in-depth analysis and research to further explore the selected GCR. This section will involve studying academic papers, reports, case studies, and expert opinions to gain a nuanced understanding of the risk's underlying causes, dynamics, and potential mitigation strategies.
3. Discussions and Debates: Club members will actively participate in discussions and debates, sharing their perspectives, insights, and concerns related to the GCR. This section aims to foster critical thinking, stimulate dialogue, and encourage students to consider diverse viewpoints, ethical dilemmas, and potential solutions.
4. Projects and Presentations: The final section provides an opportunity for students to collaborate on projects related to the selected GCR. They will have the chance to propose innovative solutions, develop awareness campaigns, or design strategies for preparedness and response. Club members will showcase their findings and proposals through presentations, fostering public speaking and communication skills.

By following this module-based approach, the GCR Club ensures that students have a comprehensive exploration of a variety of global catastrophic risks over time. It empowers them to become informed advocates, equipped with knowledge, critical thinking, and the ability to contribute to addressing these pressing global challenges.
