In a changing climate, collapse is emerging as among the most challenging and controversial topics of our times. But despite the profound social implications of global collapse, this notion has received little attention in the social sciences. Unlike the substantial body of research addressing apocalyptic framings, the critical geographies and socialities of collapse remain relatively underexamined. In this chapter, I introduce the ground for my analysis of collapse and my empiric—the intersecting complexities of climate and insurance. I position myself within the well-established tradition of critical social research, specifically critical geography. Critical geographers are well positioned to address complex phenomena such as collapse, climate, and insurance, given our preoccupation with the intersections of people, place, and power and our commitment to social theory and equitable and emancipatory change. I also introduce my research approach—a critical narrative review of insurance literature, largely from human geography and sociology, but also from grey literature and media reporting. I outline my novel contributions to critical insurance studies and critical collapse studies—broadly speaking, those involve understanding lived experiences of insurance vis-à-vis collapse and distinguishing collapse from other potentially stultifying end-of-the-world framings.
