It addresses questions like: If we knew that continued growth in population, industrialisation, resource use and pollution would cause us to overshoot the carrying capacity of the Earth, why haven\u2019t we done anything? What have we learned in the last 50 years? And how do we learn at last what we already know? Is it too late to avoid overshooting the planetary limits? And \u2013 what do we do now?<\/p>\n<p>Bringing together two of the original authors of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clubofrome.org\/publication\/the-limits-to-growth\/\"><em>The Limits to Growth<\/em><\/a>\u00a0with an array of other world-renowned thinkers, scientists, analysts and economists from across the globe, the book highlights new and diverse ways of thinking about an old but increasingly pressing problem.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Ugo Bardi, member of the Club of Rome and co-editor of the book says, \u201cIf we want to avoid, or perhaps more realistically, mitigate the twin crises of climate change and resource depletion, then we need to move decisively to new ways of doing things and wean ourselves from our addiction to fossil fuels. Today we have renewable energy technologies which didn\u2019t exist when\u00a0<em>The Limits to Growth<\/em>\u00a0report was published. But no technology, alone, will help us if we keep believing that economic growth is always and forever a good thing.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u2026click on the above link to read the rest of the article\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Limits and Beyond 05 May 2022 \u2013\u00a0On the 50th anniversary of\u00a0The Limits to Growth\u00a0a new report to the Club of Rome \u2013\u00a0Limits and Beyond: 50 years on from The Limits to Growth,\u00a0what did we learn and what\u2019s next?\u00a0once again takes stock and asks questions fundamental for the survival of humanity on a finite planet.
