Limits to Growth Event

It’s been 50 years since the Limits to Growth (LtG) report, sponsored by the Club of Rome, became one of the top-selling environmental titles ever published, with more than 30 million copies sold in 30 languages. In the early 1970s, MIT’s Jay Forrester assembled a team of up-and-coming experts in the emergent field of complex systems that included Donella Meadows, Dennis Meadows, Jørgen Randers, and William Behrens III to uncover the system dynamics of what would happen if humanity allowed unconstrained population and economic growth in a biophysically finite planet. 50 years later, humanity is faced with increasing ecological and social crises that merit revisiting the warnings in LtG to envision and realize systems change that can enable us to achieve a just sustainability transformation to a right-sized economy in this decade of action.

The ISEE Journal, Ecological Economics

The journal is concerned with extending and integrating the understanding of the interfaces and interplay between «nature’s household» (ecosystems) and «humanity’s household» (the economy). Ecological economics is an interdisciplinary field defined by a set of concrete problems or challenges related to governing economic activity in a way that promotes human well-being, sustainability, and justice. The journal thus emphasizes critical work that draws on and integrates elements of ecological science, economics, and the analysis of values, behaviors, cultural practices, institutional structures, and societal dynamics. The journal is transdisciplinary in spirit and methodologically open, drawing on the insights offered by a variety of intellectual traditions, and appealing to a diverse readership.
