Mitigations that are being implemented for this existential risk: Tell the Community

Mitigation will require impactor detection, tracking, characterization, and deflection technologies.

The NASA-funded Sentry system, for example, tracks potentially hazardous NEOs and calculates their impact probabilities over the next century. According to Sentry, there are currently no known asteroids or comets with a significant chance of impacting Earth in the next century.

Although the DART mission was an experimental success, as of the date of this last revision, there are no known funded and proven effective global mitigations already in place for this risk.
