REPORTS OF CLUB OF ROME
 The Club of Rome is an independent non-profit organisation with an
international membership. It draws on the insights and expertise of the
members from all regions of the world, from different cultures and histories
, from different fields of science and public policy and from academia ,
civic society and corporate sector.
 Personalities from all over the world gathered in Rome from 14 to 17 June
2008 to present their ideas on the critical global issues of the 21 century
and to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Club of Rome and the
centenary of one of the two founders , the Italian industrialists and
humanists , Aurelio Peccei.
 The Assembly of the club convened in Rome on 14 to 15 June and initiated a new
phase in its worldwide activities. 90 members, representatives from its 33 National
Associations , experts and distinguishes guests joined in reviewing the global activities
of the Club and establishing the guidelines for the future. The participants identified
the trends , the critical issues and the drivers of the profound and rapid changes which
are defining, the global economy and the structure of international relations.
 They agreed on a program of research , global collaboration and partnerships with
political decision- makers, scientific community and the business sector in order to
achieve a coherent understanding of the complex interconnected and rapidly
developing challenges which confront the world community. They also considered
strategies and lines of action to stimulate the changes in values, thinking , behaviour
and action which are urgently needed to reduce the growing threats to the future of
humanity and to the life support system of the planet .
 The Club will focus its activities on such issues as:
1.The ecosystem crisis and degradation of the environment
2.The urgent need to move towards a low carbon economy to avert runway climate
change
3.The challenges of globalisation and vulnerability of the international economic and
financial system
4.The explosive rise of prices of food and energy and the intensifying competition of
growing world population for land
5.Water and other vital resources
6. Rising inequality and polarisation in a world of intense poverty.
● To improve understanding of these interrelated issues which will determined the future
of humanity , the club has launched an integrated programme of international research,
consultation and outreach to world leaders and to the public which will identify the
strategies and actions needed to achieve . A New Path for World Development.
● The members of the Club were encouraged by the growing recognition that the issues,
scenarios and the policy options which they presented in 1972 are even more real and
urgent today. They will now intensity their activities and collaboration with experts and
institutions across the world to prepare proposals for action to surmount the critical
challenges of the 21 century .
The participants identified a number of key elements of the new approaches needed to
master the new constellation of global challenges;
1.It is increasingly clear that long entrenched ideas are no longer adequate to manage
the deep challenges and risks to the prospects of present and future generations.
2. The values , concepts and thinking which drive the present patterns of economic
growth will need to be adapted to meet the risks and challenges ahead.
3.There is a need to act more effectively to correct the undulying causes of visible and
current problems such as the surge in the prices of oil and food throughout the world.
To react successively to a series of urgent symptoms cannot achieve lasting solutions.
4. It will be essential to take full account of the vital linkages between issues in an
interdependent world. The increasingly complex system of trends and
relationships in every field from climate and environment to trade and finance
cannot be managed through a series of individual and disconnected interventions.
5. New multidisciplinary thinking, new integrated strategies and action, and new
partnership and institutional architecture are needed at every level .
The participants agreed that humanity has never had greater capabilities to choose a
decent further for all. New patterns of educations , thoughtful leadership,
creativity and innovation can overcome the challenges ahead- if there is the will
to focus sustained attention and to devote the necessary resources to mobiles the
enormous potentials of humanity in time.
The Standard World Model
 Computer –based graph produced by the club of Rome. All variables
plotted here follow historical values from 1900 to 2000. Food, population
and industrial output growth exponentially until the rapidly diminishing
resources a slowdown in industrial growth . Sometime after the peak of
industrialisation both population and pollution continue to increase .
 Population growth has finally come to a halt for the death rate due to
declined food and medical services.
 Depletion of non- renewable resources . Reports of Club of Rome , Limits
to Growth and sustainable development.
 Many thinkers maintain that if we are to preserve enough scarce resources
for future generations to maintained their quality of life at a satisfactory
level, we shall have to scale down our pursuit of economic growth.
