The « Meadows report » forecasts a decay by 2100

  • The survival of humanity depends directly on the health of the ecosystem (water cycle, temperature, biodiversity, soils, ...)
  • GDP = K x Energy = consumption of resources + negative externalities
  • Growth of GDP = producing & consuming more / more pollution
  • We have already reached the limits of the world :
    • Climate change
    • Biodiversity (anthropocene)
    • Peak oil
    • End of metals
    • Death of the soils
  • 3 % of growth = doubles every 25 years
