Limits and Beyond (Sandrine Dixson-Declève, Club of Rome) | DLD 22
Sandrine Dixson-Declève, Co-President of the Club of Rome, makes a remarkable observation in this DLD session. “We are at the risk of collapse”, she warns, calling for an urgent reform of the global economy.
50 years ago, her organization published its seminal report The Limits to Growth – now widely perceived as a wake-up call that most nations chose to ignore.
“What the Limits to Growth showed was that there were limits to the current and the past production patterns, there were limits to population growth on a finite planet”, Dixson-Declève explains.
Unfortunately many of the reports predictions have come true. “If you look at what The Limits to Growth, said… you could talk about it right now”, Dixson-Declève notes. “You could talk about climate anxiety, you could talk about mental illness levels that are the highest they’ve actually ever been for this generation.”
But her aim, Dixson-Declève emphasizes, is not to send out doomsday messages.
“I want to come here and work with you. Those of you who are investing in new technologies, who understand that we all need to work together to not just think about profit motives, but to think about people, planet and prosperity – and how we can service all three and still make the money necessary to carry on.”
Dixson-Declève presents several paths to a more prosperous future for all. One of them: electing politicians who are willing to pursue long-term strategies.
Leadership is lacking, she argues. “It’s not the technology. “We need bold leaders, we need leaders that are ready to go beyond a short term political cycle.” Leaders who do not “live in fear of not getting elected again”.
But the right mix of creative solutions and political willpower could transform economy and society in positive ways, without much sacrifice, she emphasizes.
In essence, Dixson-Declève says, “we need five key turnarounds: poverty, empowerment, equality, energy and food”.
