The more detailed theoretical arguments and analysis of the hyperthreat’s context is provided in this author’s main article in the spring 2022 issue of the Journal of Advanced Military Studies, which also includes a glossary of terms. To help these ideas be accessible across disciplines and beyond academia, where possible, simple language and even some creative narrative techniques such as the use of metaphor are employed, as well as multiple diagrams. It deliberately describes some “micro” solutions to assist in the imagining process these are not intended to be prescriptive but merely to encourage and prompt reimaging more broadly. It is a creative demonstration of what a new security approach might look and feel like. PLAN E presents a concept for a hyper-response to the hyperthreat of climate and environmental change. Keywords: PLAN E, hyperthreat, entangled security, climate change, hyperobject, strategy, climate emergency, mobilization, transdisciplinary, planetary security, slow violence, sixth extinction event Further, the nature of the threat demands a shift toward greater bottom-up and localized response. The author argues that the nature of threat has changed, which requires a new threat posture. In this article, traditional military threat analytical methods are fused with emerging ecophilosophical concepts to produce a prototype concept of operations for how humanity could respond to the hyperthreat of climate and environmental change. “Securitizing” the issue has long been regarded as problematic, with an assumption that it will lead to draconian top-down solutions. Abstract: Although the dangers of climate change and ecological collapse are often described as existential or catastrophic threats, in practice they are approached as scientific policy and governance issues.
