The Global Picture: Limits to Growth Versus Growth Without Limits

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Complexity in Landscape Ecology

Part of the book series: Landscape Series ((LAEC,volume 22))

Abstract

Environmental changes, whether natural or human-made, trigger complex cascades of consequences. Such cascades played a role in the collapse of past civilisations. Those events provide lessons for current ecological challenges, especially global climate change and loss of biodiversity. The economic imperative for constant growth poses a major challenge for global conservation.
