  • Grenzen des Wachstums - Das 30-Jahre-Update: Signal zum Kurswechsel

    Donella H Meadows, Donella Meadows et al.BOOKGrenzen des Wachstums - Das…2020

    Die Menschheit kann mehrere Entwicklungswege wählen – bereits 1972 und 1992 haben die Autoren der Grenzen des Wachstums solche Möglichkeiten beschrieben. Dabei setzten sie das systemische Denken in Zukunftsszenarien um. Ihre Ergebnisse riefen schon damals zum Handeln auf, denn wir verlangen seit den späten 70er-Jahren der Erde so viel ab, dass ihre Tragfähigkeit überschritten ist. In den Szenarien des 30-Jahre-Update mit aktuellen Daten wird deut…

  • The Real Message of The Limits to Growth A Plea for Forward-Looking Global Policy

    Jorgens Randers, Jorgen RandersARTICLEGAIA - Ecological Perspectives…2012

    It remains an open question whether economic growth without growing physical impact is feasible. It is possible in principle, but has not yet been observed in practice. The Limits to Growth did not seek to resolve this question, and the authors were split in their views on whether full decoupling can be realized. But they did agree that global society ought to reduce its ecological footprint per unit of consumption, and much more important, start…

  • Tracking the ecological overshoot of the human economy

    Open AccessMathis Wackernagel, Niels Schulz et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2002

    Sustainability requires living within the regenerative capacity of the biosphere. In an attempt to measure the extent to which humanity satisfies this requirement, we use existing data to translate human demand on the environment into the area required for the production of food and other goods, together with the absorption of wastes. Our accounts indicate that human demand may well have exceeded the biosphere's regenerative capacity since the 19…

  • Beyond the Limits

    Donella H Meadows, Jorgens Randers et al.BOOKBeyond the limits1992

    "Beyond the Limits Confronting Global Collapse, Envisioning a Sustainable Future is the path-breaking sequel to The Limits to Growth, the international best-seller which sold 9 million copies in 29 languages when it was published 20 years ago. At that time the authors concluded that if the present trends of growth continued unchanged, the limits to physical growth on the planet would be reached in the next 100 years. Now, in Beyond the Limits, th…

  • System simulation to test environmental policy: DDT

    Jorgens Randers, Jorgen RandersARTICLEInternational Journal of…1973

    An example has been given showing how system simulation can be used to arrive at conclusions of use to policymakers about the future consequences of current actions even in the case where complete information about the system is not available. The particular example studied is the general movement of DDT in the global eco‐system. The results suggest that, even if DDT usage were stabilized or decreased in 1972, the concentration of DDT in fish wou…

    Open AccessDennis L Meadows, Jorgens Randers et al.ARTICLEInternational Organization1972Cited by: 2References: 2

    The vast majority of the decisions made in our global society are responses to problems in which cause and effect are closely related in time and in space. When a problem becomes important, its source is usually obvious, and any appropriate response usually becomes effective in time to eliminate the difficulty. For this class of phenomena it is satisfactory to react after a problem is already apparent. Thus, the institutions involved need only mo…
