Maandag 3 december – The Club of Rome climate emergency plan. A collaborative call for climate action.
To put the situation into historical perspective, the Club of Rome alerted the world to the
environmental and demographic challenges ahead as long as fifty years ago. The central message
of The Limits to Growth – A Report to the Club of Rome published in 1972, was that the quest
for unlimited growth in population, material goods and resources, on a finite planet, would
eventually result in the collapse of its economic and environmental systems. Unfortunately, it
seems this prediction is beginning to materialize and will escalate, unless humanity radically
changes course.
