Paperback. We know what we want the world to be like in forty years. We know what the world could be like in forty years if we all did what needs to be done to create a more sustainable future. But what do we know about what the world will actually be like in forty years? Drawing on global forecasting tools, his own experience in the sutatinability arena, and the predictions - included in the book - of more than thirty leading scientists, economists, futurists and other thinkers, Jorgen Randers guides us through the future he feels is most likely to emerge. He examines matters such as: * How many people will the planet need to support? * Will there be enough food and energy? * Will youth revolt under the debt and pension burden of the old? * Which nations will prosper and which will suffer? * Will the race toward renewables succeed? * Will the belief in endless growth crumble? * How will megacities evolve and human communication change? * Will the shift to Chinese economic superiority be peaceful? * Will runaway climate change have taken hold? These are just a few of the questions he deftly probes, and there are some surprising answers. Forty years ago, "Limits to Growth" addressed the grand question of how humans would adapt to the physical limitations of planet Earth. So, where are we now? In the book "2052," a professor of climate strategy issues a progress report and makes a forecast for the next 40 years.

White River Junction, Vermont.: Chelsea Green Publishing Company, 2012. 302 Pages Indexed.This is the May 2012 First Printing. Light cover wear especially to front corners Interior text pages are flawless. This is the Report to the Club of Rome Commemorating the 40th Anniversary of the book The Limits to Growth. Forty years ago, The Limits to Growth study addressed the grand question of how humans would adapt to the physical limitations of planet Earth. It predicted that during the first half of the 21st century the ongoing growth in the human ecological footprint would stop-either through catastrophic overshoot and collapse or through well-managed peak and decline. So, where are we now? And what does our future look like? In the book 2052, Jorgen Randers, one of the coauthors of Limits to Growth, issues a progress report and makes a forecast for the next forty years. To do this, he asked dozens of experts to weigh in with their best predictions on how our economies, energy supplies, natural resources, climate, food, fisheries, militaries, political divisions, cities, psyches, and more will take shape in the coming decades. He then synthesized those scenarios into a global forecast of life as we will most likely know it in the years ahead. The good news: we will see impressive advances in resource efficiency, and an increasing focus on human well-being rather than on per capita income growth. But this change might not come as we expect. Future growth in population and GDP, for instance, will be constrained in surprising ways by rapid fertility decline as result of increased urbanization, productivity decline as a result of social unrest, and continuing poverty among the poorest 2 billion world citizens. Runaway global warming, too, is likely. So, how do we prepare for the years ahead? With heart, fact, and wisdom, Randers guides us along a realistic path into the future and discusses what readers can do to ensure a better life for themselves and their children during the increasing turmoil of the next forty years.. First Printing. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. Illus. by Jacobson, Melissa - Designer. 6" X 9".
