Description

Earth for All: A Survival Guide for Humanity(September 2022), is a unique book. For the first time, it presents the results of a remarkable two-year broad-minded research collaboration, Earth4All. Nobel Prize Teacher Summit: Creating a movement of minds, hearts and souls to upgrade our economies Jayati Ghosh, Professor at the College of Social and Behavioural Sciences, University of Massachusetts Amherst The book explores two scenarios beginning in 1980 and ending in 2100. These scenarios entitled Too Little, Too Late and The Giant Leap explore how population, economies, resource use, pollution wellbeing and social tensions might change this century based on decisions made this decade.

An extraordinary book at an extraordinary time. For today and tomorrow's leaders, Earth for All is a must-read. This book offers a concrete, breakthrough vision on how to ensure well-being for all— in any country— on our finite planet. Together, we can build a world that is genuinely equitable by following the 5 Turnarounds— a roadmap to accelerate the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals in the next decade. I hope it will inspire a new movement of minds and souls that are willing to save our precious humanity. Earth4All contributors and supporters will rally this call for an economic system that works for people’s wellbeing. Join us. Make signs -use our policy recommendations. Support us in making this message as strong as possible for decision-makers. 50th anniversary of The Limits to Growth report and Donella Meadows celebration So, Earth for All is not just a report: it is a call to action. Because the necessary changes are so big, they require determined social movements with broad participation. History shows that inertia and defeatism can become self-fulfilling. But it also shows that governments ultimately must respond to popular pressure—or be replaced by it. It's time to shift from the age of endless growth to an age of thriving in balance. This thought-provoking analysis proposes five critical turnarounds for getting us there – each of them raising urgent issues for public discussion and action. Read on to explore possible futures for humanity and join the most vital debate of our times."

Jahre ist es her, als der Club of Rome „Die Grenzen des Wachstums“ veröffentlichte. Damals war dieser erste Bericht ein Meilenstein des tatsächlich fortschrittlichen Denkens und eine schonungslose Abrechnung mit einer Ökonomie des verschwenderischen Kapitalismus. This latest, most urgent, and most carefully researched version of system science's scenarios for our human future is essential reading for collapse preventers everywhere. Whether its recommendations are taken up by policy makers everywhere – and whether we humans are therefore able to avert worldwide ecological, economic, and social breakdown sometime during the remainder of the 21st century – is up to all of us." Sandrine Dixson-Declève, is co-president of the Club of Rome, and has over 30 years' experience with European and international policy, business leadership, and strategy, with a particular focus on EU and international climate change, sustainable development, green growth, conventional and sustainable energy solutions, and sustainable finance.

She is the author of Quel Monde Pour Demain? This tremendous collaboration, documented in this breathtaking book, provides yet more evidence that so much good can come out of pooling our minds and skills, to build a world that works for all. Why not opt for one-planet prosperity, if the alternative is one-planet misery?
