Abstract

The Neo-Malthusian ideology professed by the late Professor Donella Meadows led her to establish in 1981 the International Network of Resource Information Centers (INRIC), which distributed, on a global scale, the principles of sustainable development. In 1996 she founded the Sustainability Institute in order to form an educational methodology by which to apply these principles and thus reverse damaging trends in the environment, economy, and social systems.
