| Abstract, etc | Limits to Growth: The 30-Year Update is an expanded and revised edition of the groundbreaking 1972 report that used computer modeling to analyze the consequences of unchecked economic and population growth on the environment and global resources. The authors revisit their original findings with updated data and improved simulation models, emphasizing the environmental, social, and economic challenges facing the 21st century.<br/><br/>The book highlights key global trends, such as climate change, resource depletion, biodiversity loss, and economic instability, arguing that continued growth without sustainable management will lead to ecological and economic collapse. The authors advocate for a transition to a more sustainable future through policy reforms, technological innovations, and behavioral shifts.<br/><br/>This updated edition serves as a crucial resource for policymakers, environmentalists, and economists, offering insights into the long-term consequences of human actions on Earth's ecosystems and the necessity for sustainable development. |
