Carlos Alvarez Pereira Talked about Sciences for Sustainable Development 2024-2033|Melodious Deer Chirping—CBCGDF Expert Interview (15)

BioGreen - Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development (ISSN2749-9065), China Biodiversity Conservation and Green Development Foundation (CBCGDF) organized the fifth edition of Melodious Deer Chirping—CBCGDF Expert Interview on April 26, 2024, with the theme of “Planetary Reconciliation. Time for an Earth-Humanity Coalition, in support of the UN Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development 2024-2033）”。

Prof. Carlos Alvarez Pereira, secretary general of The Club of Rome accepted the interview, talking about the sciences for sustainable development 2024-2033e. His statement is summarized as follows.


The question posed by the book Limits to Growth is whether the resources needed for human development are compatible with planetary boundaries? The response to this question is to beware, because if we don't change and we don't learn from it, we will reach the planetary boundaries. Limits to Growth was published in 1972, and warnings were sounded 52 years ago. Yet we are less sustainable now than we were 50 years ago. This is why we face a crisis, we face climate change as a result, we face biodiversity loss as a result ......

Two years ago, Earth for All was published. The question this book seeks to answer is - what kind of policies can work for the welfare of humanity equitably within the boundaries of the planet? Is this possible to realise? It is absolutely possible. With what kind of policy? This book gives the answer. But it is not the policy we are pursuing.

The third book, Limits and Beyond, addresses the question: how do we learn what we already know? Thanks to science and technology, we now know much more about the challenges we face than we knew 50 years ago, we have more data, we have the ability to collect large amounts of data to process, analyse and make better judgements, and hopefully also imagine some responses, some solutions.
