The Limits to Growth – a report to The Club of Rome – was published on 2 March 1972. This report was the first to model our planet's interconnected systems and make clear that if growth trends in population, industrialisation, resource use and pollution continued unchanged, we would reach and then overshoot the carrying capacity of the Earth at some point in the next one hundred years.

The Speakers of this event will reflect on 50 years since The Limits to Growth and focus on how lessons from the report and systems knowledge can be applied to the current planetary emergency.

This event is the first in a series of webinars reflecting on the Limits to Growth and bringing forward solutions for change.

Speakers:

  • Johan Rockström, Director of Potsdam Institute for Climate, Earth4All Commissioner
  • Dennis Meadows, Co-author of The Limits of Growth
  • Luisa Neubauer, Co-organiser Fridays for Future
  • Jayati Ghosh, Professor, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, Earth4All Commissioner
