The Club of Rome is an international Think Tank which addressed the public first in 1972 with the provoking report
"Limits to Growth" by Donnella Meadows, Dennis Meadows and Jorgen Randers.
For the first time, computer based models were used to describe sustainable and desastrous scenarios.
The report started an intensive discussion about the future of humankind.
Today, National Associations
of the Club of Rome with altogether more than 1800 members are working
on the "World Problematique" - the complex set
of interconnected problems facing humanity. Therefore, their works covers a wide range of themes,
ecological, social and economic ones.
Following the tradition of the Club, which avoids administrative overhead (sometimes being called a non-governmental non-organisation)
The National Associations are working as networks of active individuals.
The Centre in Vienna coordinates their activities, assists in
events and conducts
projects in cooperation with the Associations and the Club's Secretariat-General which is located in Winterthur.
