Limits to growth revisited

Back in the early 1970s, the book Limits to Growth sold millions worldwide and caused a sensation with its stark warnings of possible global collapse.

It also predicted that the 21st century political agenda would be dominated by resource and pollution issues.

Professor Jorgen Randers, one of the original authors, reviews the predictions and casts an eye to the future.
