50 Years On From The Limits to Growth: What Did We Learn and What Next?

In 1972, the Club of Rome published a groundbreaking report titled "The Limits to Growth." The report warned that the world was facing a number of environmental and resource challenges that could lead to a global collapse. The report's findings were controversial at the time, but they have since been largely vindicated by subsequent events.

Fifty years on from the publication of "The Limits to Growth," the world is facing an even more severe environmental crisis. Climate change, overpopulation, resource depletion, and pollution are all threatening the future of our planet. In light of this, a group of leading scientists and researchers have come together to assess the progress made since the publication of the original report and to identify the challenges and opportunities that we face today.

The result of their work is the book "50 Years On From The Limits to Growth: What Did We Learn and What Next?" This book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of the environment and offers a clear path forward for a just and sustainable future.
