of the Club of Rome programme, the Secretariat of the Club has developed a post-Copenhagen statement.
It is available for download as
Growing Within Limits
Although the 1972 report Limits to Growth by Donnella Meadows, Dennis Meadows and Jorgen Randers had great impact,
the ecological dilemma which faced society then, is still with us today.
Paradoxically, the credit
crisis seems to create a window of opportunity for a serious discussion on the basic
values underpinning our economic system. The report by the Netherlands Environmental
Assessment Agency shows that there is a large potential for a more efficient energy and food-supply
system. The true challenge now lies in finding a governance regime
that might deliver on this task.
The book is available for
download (6 MB).
