Jorgen Randers, member of The Club of Rome and co-author of The Limits to Growth, reflects on how a report once criticised for its warnings became one of the most influential publications in our history.
In this short video, Jorgen recalls the surprising reactions following the 1972 launch: how the controversy helped spread its message worldwide, and what it revealed about humanity’s resistance to change.
For more than fifty years, Jorgen has combined research, teaching, and activism to explore how societies can thrive within the planet’s limits. In his new member profile article: 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸, 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱, he shares what he has learned from half a century of systems thinking, his continued work on Earth for All, and why he believes strong leadership and collective action are essential for our future.
