The “2025 avalanche” refers to a series of catastrophic events predicted to occur in 2025, triggered by a combination of environmental, economic, and societal factors. These events are anticipated to have far-reaching consequences, potentially leading to widespread societal collapse and significant loss of life.
The concept of the “2025 avalanche” was first popularized by Dmitry Orlov, a Russian-American engineer and author, in his 2008 book “Reinventing Collapse.” Orlov argues that the global economy is on an unsustainable trajectory and is heading for a collapse in the near future. He predicts that this collapse will trigger a series of cascading events, including food shortages, energy crises, and civil unrest, which will ultimately lead to a complete breakdown of society.
