Perspectives on Limits to Growth: It is too late for sustainable development

Dennis Meadows speaks about the contributions of Limits to Growth, the changes in his understanding of those limits over the past 40 years, and his proposal that we should now shift the focus of our energies from sustainability to resilience.

Dennis Meadows is one of the original authors of the Limits to Growth study. Roberto Peccei, a member of the Executive Committee of the Club of Rome and a professor of Physics and Astronomy at UCLA, introduced him at this event to celebrate the 40^th anniversary of the study.
