About Club of Rome

The Club of Rome was founded in April 1968 by Aurelio Peccei, an Italian scholar and industrialist, and Alexander King, a Scottish scientist. The Club of Rome raised considerable public attention with its report The Limits to Growth, which has sold 30 million copies in more than 30 translations making it the best selling environmental book in world history. Published in 1972, it predicted that economic growth could not continue indefinitely because of the limited availability of natural resources, particularly oil. The 1973 oil crisis increased public concern about this problem.

At that time the Club of Rome had an informal 'inner group' of six, but no corporate existence. The inner group consisted of:

  • Aurelio Peccei (click here for more information)
  • Alexander King
  • Hugo Thiemann, Director of the Batelle Institute in Geneva
  • Max Kohnstamm (Netherlands), former Secretary General of the ECSC
  • Jean Saint-Geours, Ministry of Finance in Paris
  • Erich Jantsch, author of 'Technological Forecasting'

It is composed of "scientists, economists, businessmen, international high civil servants, heads of state and former heads of state from all five continents who are convinced that the future of humankind is not determined once and for all and that each human being can contribute to the improvement of our societies."

In 2001 the Club of Rome created the tt30, a Young Think Tank with people around the age of 30, a Think Tank that gives input to the Club of Rome on the ideas and visions of the young generation of today.

There are national COR associations in a series of nations including many European, USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and Asian nations. These analyze national problems in terms of the same factors and give advice nationally to decision-makers.
