Limits to Growth

"Limits to Growth" is a concept stemming from a 1972 study by the Club of Rome, which used computer models to simulate the impacts of exponential economic and population growth on finite resources. The study concluded that if current trends continued, the world would face environmental collapse, resource depletion, and reduced quality of life within the 21st century. It emphasizes the need for sustainable practices and balance between economic development and environmental health to avoid catastrophic outcomes. Overall, it highlights the importance of recognizing and adapting to ecological limits to ensure future prosperity.
