If you listen to **one thing this year**, make sure it's the stunning "Tipping Point". It hits all the harder as we see Dana Meadows' projections materialize in fire, flood and famine. Do everyone you know a favour, and get them to listen to this.

Wenn ihr wieder mal einen Ökonomen o. Politiker:in abfällig über die Arbeit zu Grenzen des Wachstums reden hört (gern behauptend ⁦@ClubOfRome⁩ hätte vorausgesagt heute gäbe es keine Ressourcen mehr), empfehlt diesen Bildungspodcast zu System Thinking tippingpoint-podcast.com/...

Even as a researcher who conducted am empirical data comparison to the Limits to Growth, the story still grabbed me; it’s told so well. The Limits to Growth authors went through a lot, something that is easily forgotten. I think their struggle is recognizable for all of us working in sustainability.

This three part podcast on The Club of Rome and the Limits to Growth is extraordinary. If you haven't listened to it yet, the truth about the history, evolution and opposition to these ideas is both astounding and tragic.

Honestly it's an amazing series. Such a beautiful and fitting tribute to Dana and her colleagues. You were able to dig up a few things I'd never heard before. I loved hearing about Dana's exchanges with Nordhaus for example. Thanks for producing such a useful resource.

I hugely recommend this riveting 3-part saga on the Limits to Growth by @katyrshields and @vegardbeyer. With clips spanning from the 1960s to last month, this remarkable story and its inspiring characters - especially Dana Meadows - are not to be missed. tippingpoint-podcast.com/
