According to Meadows (1972) and the book "The Limits to Growth" published by the Club of Rome, if the present trends in world population, industrialization, pollution, food production, and resource depletion continue unchanged, the "Limits to Growth" on our planet will be reached in the next 100 years.

"The Limits to Growth" was a groundbreaking study that used computer modeling to explore the long-term consequences of continued economic growth and resource consumption on a finite planet. The study highlighted the interconnectedness of various factors and the potential for overshooting the planet`s carrying capacity.

The 100-year timeframe indicates that if humanity continues on its current trajectory without significant changes in population growth, resource consumption, and environmental impact, we would encounter severe limitations and consequences within that timeframe. These limitations could manifest as depletion of critical resources, environmental degradation, food shortages, and other challenges that could impact human well-being and sustainability.

It is important to note that the "Limits to Growth" study and its projections have been subject to debates and criticisms over the years. However, it serves as a significant contribution to the discourse on sustainable development and the need for proactive measures to address the challenges posed by population growth, resource depletion, and environmental degradation.
