The influential report "Limits to Growth," published in 1972, was released by The Club of Rome. This organization, which consists of a group of scientists, economists, and political leaders, aimed to address global challenges concerning resource consumption and environmental sustainability. The report utilized computer modeling to simulate the consequences of exponential economic and population growth within a limited resource environment. It raised awareness about the potential for ecological collapse and the importance of managing Earth's resources responsibly to ensure a sustainable future.
The other groups mentioned do not have the same association with this specific publication. The World Bank primarily focuses on economic development and poverty reduction, the United Nations serves broader international relations functions, and the Environmental Protection Agency is involved in environmental regulation and enforcement in the United States, none of which directly relate to the "Limits to Growth" report.
