Which was the report published by the ‘Club of Rome’ in the context of rise of green movements public concern about environmental problems ?
The Limits to Growth
The Club of Rome, a think-tank founded in 1968 by Aurelio Peccei and Alexander King, commissioned 'The Limits to Growth' (1972), written by Donella Meadows, Dennis Meadows, Jørgen Randers and William Behrens III of MIT.
Using the World3 computer model, the report argued that if growth in population, industrial output, pollution and resource use continued, the planet would reach its limits within a hundred years. It fuelled public concern over the environment and the rise of green movements in the 1970s.
'Our Common Future' (1987) is the Brundtland Commission report that popularised 'sustainable development', and Greenpeace is an environmental NGO founded in 1971, not a report.
Hence, the answer is The Limits to Growth.
