Study Notes
True or False Questions on The Limits to Growth
- The Limits to Growth report addresses the scenario of exponential economic and population growth occurring alongside finite natural resources, highlighting potential crises due to this imbalance.
- The World3 computer model was developed to simulate interactions between human systems and the Earth, allowing for analysis of long-term outcomes of various scenarios.
- Key authors of the report include Donella H. Meadows, Dennis L. Meadows, Jørgen Randers, and William W. Behrens III, part of a larger team of 17 researchers specializing in global systems.
- Findings from the report predict that without significant changes in resource consumption and management, both global population and industrial capacity could experience sharp declines, leading to societal challenges.
- The report has achieved widespread impact, with around 30 million copies sold in 30 different languages, indicating its global relevance and influence in discussions on sustainability.
