This lecture discusses the environmental challenges highlighted in 'The Limits to Growth' report, focusing on population growth, resource depletion, ecological footprints, and potential future scenarios like techno-explosion, techno-stability, energy descent, and collapse. It explores the impact of human activities on the planet's ecosystems and presents contrasting visions for the future, from continuous growth to sustainable societies and potential collapse scenarios.
