New report out from Club of Rome

New report out from Club of Rome

New report Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency:
Growing within limits. A report to the Global Assembly 2009 of the Club of Rome

As input for the Assembly of the Club of Rome, the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency looked into two important challenges for sustainable development: 1) energy use and climate change and 2) land use and biodiversity loss. The report does also discuss the linkages between these issues – showing which synergies and trade-offs exists between them. In brief, the report concludes that current trends in fossil-fuel use and inefficient land use will lead to large global environmental problems with respect to climate change and biodiversity loss. Technical and economically feasible options are available to meet the challenge to avoid these problems. The main issue is that of creating institutional and policy conditions for a more sustainable economy.
