The Club of Rome – Reaffirmation of a Mission

Following the death of its president and founder Aurelio Peccei, the Executive Committee of the Club of Rome agreed that it was imperative that the Club maintain its momentum and fund of good will in facing the problems of the end of the century. Deep consideration has been given to the objectives and methods of the Club, and the need for many changes of emphasis is recognized. Nevertheless, it remains committed to the aims which were articulated when it was founded in 1968. For the Club's history, see: A. King, The Club of Rome, a Case Study of Institutional Innovation. Interdisciplinary Science Reviews, 4, 54, 1979. ‘We are dedicated to ensuring a promising future for humankind, and, despite the many problems of transition in world society, we believe that human creativity can be mobilized to overcome the difficulties ahead.’
