There are two interpretations of how law ought to arise. Mill's interpretation suggests the primary purpose of the law is to protect individual liberty. Laws should be minimal and only restrict one person's freedom to prevent a direct harm to others. Devlin's interpretation suggests the primary purpose of the law is to preserve societal moral order. Laws should be comprehensive and restrictive of freedoms to ensure moral order and social cohesion, even if it does not directly cause harm to others.

One is building in situ resilience to combat increasingly volatile temperature fluctuations and climate risks (e.g. investing in massive-scale green landscapes, rebuilding old housing, creating low carbon emission zones). 

The other is ex situ resilience to systematically migrate out of areas facing the worst effects of climate change (e.g. state incentives to relocate to other areas, deliberately planning for climate-adaptive infrastructure in new settlements, moving ecological systems to new habitats).

The EU Competitiveness Agenda refers to a legislative effort to significantly "streamline" regulations within the EU to allow for easier functioning of large and innovative companies. A part of it is allowing more government subsidies for companies and a focus on large economies of scale and startups, rather than "average" companies. Examples of regulations include: allowing significantly more mergers, reduce corporate sustainability reporting, reducing data sharing/compliance obligations, REACH chemicals regulations, caps on market share, etc.

The 'femosphere' describes a recent trend in online content compelling women to distance themselves from men (e.g. promoting a distrust of men, adopting a more transactional, emotionally detached approach to heterosexual relationships, and "pink-pill" content).
