Prologue

CCPARM means the "Climate Change Preparation, Adaptation, Resilience Building, and Migration Movement (CCPARM)." The CCPARM section of our website contains the original CCPARM Model (also known as CCPAR). It covers everything you need to know to create a climate-prepared future and build climate-prepared communities that can withstand much of the accelerating polycrisis. 

Here is a simple statement for the reason why the CCPARM vision, particularly as it is projected in the Universe One model, exists:

Currently, people worldwide are becoming consciously (and subconsciously) aware of the accelerating polycrisis and the accelerating likelihood of a widespread global collapse. They are also witnessing increasing political economic, and social dysfunction worldwide. They see rising environmental unsustainability; high-level and overt public-sector dishonesty; widespread social and economic injustice; the black-and-white thinking of rising religious fundamentalism filtering into many governments; anti-science, anti-rational thinking and policies taking increasing control of more and more power structures around the world, and the rising power, greed, privilege and control of poorly educated and socially emotionally developed billionaires.

From these trends, it doesn't take a genius to either know (or feel intuitively) that widespread parts of human society and our global civilization are on a direct and accelerating path to collapse. Based on what we and many others are seeing and sensing, we were compelled to develop the CCPARM model and vision. It is designed to create physical survival islands of factual reality and balanced philosophical wisdom that respect science, rationality, justice, and a sustainable environment.

Because of the above, several years ago, we helped cofound ClimateSafe Villages (CSV). It was also designed to advance and use many parts of the CCPARM model found on these pages. (CSV does differ from the general CCPARM vision and model in that it provides more one-on-one support and community-building interactions.)

If you see the phrase "Universe One," note that it is a very special variation of the CCPARM model. We continually upgrade our CCPARM pages. 

 

Introduction

This is the original CCPARM and ClimateSafe Village (CSV) guide and model for everything you need to know about these future climate-prepared, resilient communities.

The CCPARM "survive and thrive" eco-community vision was originally developed by Job One for Humanity over several decades. The CCPARM community was designed to be a:

1. Climate change emergency prepared, adapted, and resilient community,

2. A lead example in the climate change resilience movement, 

3. A climate-prepared community that can assist other new climate change-prepared communities to come into being worldwide and

4. A lead community envisioning the new social, economic, ecological, and political changes needed so humanity never faces another similar climate change emergency again.

The Universe One version of CCPARM does have other purposes, as you will discover in reading through its guide, but for now, all you need to know is the four purposes above.

To help spread CCPARM's ideas, in 2023, Job One for Humanity helped establish a new nonprofit called ClimateSafe Villages. This new non-profit organization is exclusively committed to creating climate change-resilient "survive and thrive "eco-communities worldwide using much of our research and materials. While the CCPARM community maintains many unique features and rigorous membership criteria, it also continuously supports the creation of other eco-communities, guided into existence through the ClimateSafe Villages organization we helped create.

Review our CCPARM and CSV multipage Guide on the Job One website only if you are interested in joining the unique Universe One CSV model. Click here to learn more about the Universe One CSV model, which is preparing to purchase land for the new eco-community.

If you are browsing and want an easy, general sense of what we are doing, we strongly recommend you first explore the new ClimateSafe Villages website. Please click here to go to the, far less complex ClimateSafe Village (CSV) website and start exploring the many positive possibilities.

 

 

Welcome to Page 2 of the CCPARM and ClimateSafe Villages (CSV) Guide and Overview

(If you have not yet read this summary of the ten current climate change condition facts, please do so before reading this page. You will better understand why, at this particular time, you should consider joining CCPARM or one of our four ClimateSafe Villages models or creating a climate-safer eco-community of your own.)

In some ways, this is one of the most important pages in our online guide. We strongly recommend starting with Section Nine.

Section Nine describes the qualities of our members and potential members. It is the first recommended section because the core of any successful project is its people, then its culture, and finally, its physical qualities, all of which are described below for the CCPARM and ClimateSafe Villages project.

 

Our CCPARM and CSV & Online Guide

Welcome to the table of contents for our online guide to the original master model for everything you ever would want to know about the climate-resilient homes and communities of the future. 

How to use the following Online Guide's Table of Contents: 

1. Click any linked CCPARM and ClimateSafe Village table of contents page listed just below that interests you. It will then take you to a list of all the subtopic sections for that particular page.

2. If you see a subtopic section that matches your interest on that page, click on the link to that page. 

3. On that new page, scan down to find your selected subtopic, click it, and begin reading.

Please always keep in mind that, when reviewing our materials, you can "start exactly where you are" and build climate change resilience in your home or business. Being practical is one of our most important core principles.

You don't have to move anywhere. You can be part of a safer community in an urban climate.

The only thing we asked you to do is conduct a careful location evaluation of how long your home or business will remain safe and manageable amid rapidly accelerating climate change consequences. If you're only going to live another five, 10, or maybe 15 years, relocating probably isn't the wisest move. But if you are younger and in the wrong climate, and things are just going to get worse and worse, becoming less and less survivable. The practical thing to do is to move to a safer location and start building your resilience there for your family or business.

Much more about this "start exactly where you are" practicality principle is said in the description of our rural CCPARM and ClimateSafe village models.

What To Do Next

When we say we are creating survive and thrive new ClimateSafe Villages worldwide, people have many different ideas of what that means. They often think of similar communities, such as intentional communities, cohousing communities, sustainability communities, resilience communities, prepper communities, degrowth communities, ecovillages, conservation communities, simplicity communities, deep adaptation communities, evolutionary communities, agrihoods, eco-prepper, progressive prepper, farmers' cooperatives, eco-spiritual, and even survivalist communities. 

While our four new models may include and combine the best elements from many of these kinds of communities, they are also something new and quite unique. Our four ClimateSafe Village models also strive to transcend what we perceive as the limitations, missing parts, or flaws in other types of communities, and they are what you could also call true climate-survival communities.

Please Note: Nowhere on Earth will be 100% safe from all climate change consequences. But we can create climate-safer locations and communities using the practices of climate change preparation, adaptation, and resilience building. ClimateSafe Villages will help you make wherever you live as climate-safe as possible using these practices."

Important History Concerning Job One for Humanity's Relationship with Universe One and ClimateSafe Villages

The Job One for Humanity team spent many years anticipating the need to build climate-resilient communities. We designed and helped create the model to save lives in the accelerating climate emergency.

During those years, we designed a master plan for what we hoped would become climate-resilient communities that could simultaneously survive the climate change emergency and other global crises. Initially, we called these climate-resilient communities eco-communities or the Universe One community. 

In May 2023, with the ClimateSafe Villages (CSV )'s new leadership, Job One helped create a new CSV non-profit organization. The primary purpose of this new CSV organization was to develop climate-resilient communities and support individuals in completing the many essential and complex actions required for climate change emergency preparation, adaptation, and climate resilience-building.

Job One sponsored the new CSV until December 31, 2023, just after the US government granted it full non-profit status.

We also helped create a CSV file to collect and share all the information that anyone, anywhere in the world, would need to develop a climate-safe village in their location.

In March 2024, one of the lead Job One team members resigned from the ClimateSafe Villages board of directors because ClimateSafe Villages had the necessary skilled management team in place, and the Job One team member needed to return to their research and analysis work at Job One.

Today, many Job One team members are active ClimateSafe Villages members to ensure their own survival and that of their families. 

Almost everything on the Job One website describing ClimateSafe Villages is from our original master model research for creating individual and community climate resilience.

The current management of ClimateSafe Villages has full access to these materials for their work. Job One for Humanity continues to collaborate with and regularly promotes ClimateSafe Villages' work.

A bit more CSV history

In 2023, Leonora Camner (formerly the executive director at CSV) approached Job One and proposed creating the new eco-communities as a project separate from Job One's ongoing climate research and analysis. Job One agreed. That was the CSV organization's official birth.

Job One is a nonprofit climate change think tank and risk assessment organization founded in 2008. It is independent, 100% publicly funded, and uncensored by any government or corporation.
