Key Insights from Jørgen Randers
Historical Context: From 'The Limits to Growth' to 'Earth for All'
When the Club of Rome published *The Limits to Growth* in 1972, it sent a shockwave through the global conversation.

Scenarios Clarify Futures, Not Certainties
The future is not a single destination; it is a range of possibilities shaped by choices, delays, and system behavior. That is why The Limits to Growth relies on scenarios rather than fixed predictions. The authors used World3 to test different assumptions about population trends, resource availabil...
