Paperback Mass Market Paperback Hardcover"Limits to Growth: The 30-Year Update" is an update and expansion of the original book "The Limits to Growth" published in 1972. The book was written by Donella H. Meadows, Jorgen Randers, and Dennis Meadows, and it presents a model for understanding the interactions between the global economy, population growth, and environmental limits. The book argues that based on its forecast, the world will experience the collapse in the 21st century due to multiple factors, including resource depletion, pollution, and overpopulation. At the same time, it presents a roadmap for sustainability, focusing on the need for policies that prioritize renewable energy, resource efficiency, and population control.

However, they also stress that it will require immediate and significant action from individuals, governments, and businesses around the world. Overall, "Limits to Growth: The 30-Year Update" is a cautionary tale that emphasizes the need for a new paradigm of thinking and action to ensure a sustainable future for humanity.
