Document Summary
A report written by the club of rome(1972) Up to this point development only included economic, political, and social aspects. 1st institutionalized examples of where environment became part of development. Modelling the limit of growth is it sustainable? . True to the malthus theory malthusian concept in contrast to max ideas which were that population was a problem of distribution. We can have economic growth and sustainable development. We can manage these limits of growth. Controversial: very vocal about his ideas around sustainable development. A proposal/theoretical idea that rings true to jeffrey sacks comments. Looking at the limits of growth curve should be linear increased development/population = degradation. Curve suggests that the relationship is an inverted u : increases to a peak increase development and financing (kyoto) = decrease in degradation. What does this curve mean for limits of growth: there is no limit to growth, we can get around these limits.
