What's the worst that could happen?

Did you know that you're more likely to die from a catastrophe than in a car crash? 

In this online talk with the Cambridge Centre for the Study of Existential Risk, Andrew Leigh looks at catastrophic risks and how to mitigate them, and explains how the rise of populist politics makes catastrophe more likely.

Andrew Leigh is a Member of the Australian House of Representatives, and author of ten books, including most recently What's the Worst That Could Happen? Existential Risk and Extreme Politics (MIT Press & Penguin).
