Abstract
50 years ago, The Limits to Growth study warned about the risk of physical overshoot and global collapse. Since then, there has been continued physical growth – into a physical overshoot which is most obvious in the climate sector. But there has not yet been global collapse from environmental reasons. The new Earth for All study warns that unless the world implements 5 extraordinary turnarounds, there will be continuing decline in human wellbeing over the next 50 years because of rising warming and inequality, and local social collapse (societal breakdown) in vulnerable nations.
