About this deal

On Friday 23 September, millions of citizens from the globe will join in on a Global Climate Strike organised by the youth-led organisation Fridays For the Future, under the banner #PeopleNotProfit. In our age of permanent crisis we can’t afford to be ‘single issue’ solvers. The concept of ‘multi-solving’ seeks to build long-term resilience while delivering short-term wellbeing and justice. Join experts in politics, gender, system dynamics and communications to delve into how multisolves work. Jahre ist es her, als der Club of Rome „Die Grenzen des Wachstums“ veröffentlichte. Damals war dieser erste Bericht ein Meilenstein des tatsächlich fortschrittlichen Denkens und eine schonungslose Abrechnung mit einer Ökonomie des verschwenderischen Kapitalismus. This is deeply worrying, because two of these three scenarios suggest a major collapse by mid-century while the third entails a smaller decline. Herrington argues that “humanity is on a path to having limits to growth imposed on itself rather than consciously choosing its own.” Earth4All contributors and supporters will rally this call for an economic system that works for people’s wellbeing. Join us. Make signs -use our policy recommendations. Support us in making this message as strong as possible for decision-makers. 50th anniversary of The Limits to Growth report and Donella Meadows celebration

In the decades that followed, the report’s startling conclusions were probably more criticised than commended. Many brushed them aside as a doomsday scenario which human ingenuity and technological progress would render moot. But The Limits to Growth did not provide a single forecast. Rather, the authors explored several alternative paths based on different human strategies and recent research by Gaya Herrington has shown that three of the four scenarios they outlined align quite closely with empirical data. Richard Heinberg, senior fellow, Post Carbon Institute, author of Power: Limits and Prospects for Human Survival One year on Earth lasts 365.25 days. That 0.25 extra means every four years we need to add one day to our calendar. We call it a leap day (in a leap year).

This year, Earth4All project lead and modeller Per Espen Stoknes is invited to give a talk at the assembly. The talk, “Creating a movement of minds, hearts and souls to upgrade our economies” will focus on overcoming the fatalism, anxiety and the helplessness many feel in the face of global climate disruptions, and instead, provide proper tools and narratives to doers: we need a new story of how to restart the economic system. One that is inclusive and engaging. UK Parliament Book launch This event will gather climate scientists, development economists and decision-makers to discuss the policy options needed urgently to accelerate systems change to secure wellbeing for all within planetary boundaries. Authors of Earth for All: A Survival Guide for Humanity will join representatives from the business and finance communities to discuss the findings of the book, and the investment actions to be taken to facilitate the five extraordinary turnarounds and transform our economies and societies, while reducing the impact on nature and our planet.

There’s a long list of contributing experts to Earth for All, including some globally recognised economists, thinkers, scientists and systems analysts. It’s an admirably multi-disciplinary group that spent two years working out “what is necessary to build a fairer, more resilient economic system to weather current interconnected crises and future storms.” A commission on new economics discussed ideas that were then tested by a new computer model. The model’s findings were then critiqued by the commission. Two years of deliberation later, we get to read what they’ve come up with. Sorta like the economic version of "Drawdown," the book lists out solutions to the climate crisis, and envisions a scenario in which everyone starts treating it seriously. It starts with a real good argument that inequality is a major driver of the climate crisis, and how the collapse of society that all the climate people are yapping about won't actually come about due to *climate change* itself, but the inequality and social tension that comes from it. Meanwhile, inequality is also causing the top 10 and 1% to consume massively more than the global middle and lower classes. In partnership with Project Everyone, Earth4All contributors will join climate leaders and decision makers at theGoals House in New York to open a week of events about our common future. Per Espen Stoknes, one of the project leaders ofEarth4All, will present the policy recommendations outlined by the 2-year research project. From science to action: An Interactive Discussion With only 8 years to go until the deadline of 2030 and having not met for three years, the 193 Member States of the United Nations will once again gather at the UN. With a focus on the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the Goals House will investigate solutions for the future. Earth4All speakers will take the stage to present the conclusions and policy recommendations in front of an audience of decision makers and industry leaders from around the world.As part of the Ars Electronica Festival, the Austrian Chapter of the Club of Rome are organising an event to present Earth for All: A Survival Guide for Humanity – a new report to the Club of Rome. Results of new global modeling that indicates falling well-being and rising social tensions heighten risk of regional societal collapses This tremendous collaboration, documented in this breathtaking book, provides yet more evidence that so much good can come out of pooling our minds and skills, to build a world that works for all. Why not opt for one-planet prosperity, if the alternative is one-planet misery? We are standing on a cliff edge,” warned Jorgen Randers, one of the six authors of book and co-author of The Limits to Growth which was published 50 years ago. So, Earth for All is not just a report: it is a call to action. Because the necessary changes are so big, they require determined social movements with broad participation. History shows that inertia and defeatism can become self-fulfilling. But it also shows that governments ultimately must respond to popular pressure—or be replaced by it.

Speakers include The Club of Rome co-president, Sandrine Dixson-Declève talking about the new report by The Club of Rome titled Earth for All: A Survival Guide for Humanity.Recent scientific assessments have shifted the climate debate from questions of “if” and “when” global warming will reach a certain point to the question of just how bad things will get. Anticipations of a hotter world have brought the issues of adaptation and climate justice to the fore.
