Abstract

The growth model favored by economies and most companies for the past 250 years is living on borrowed time. And so are companies that rely on it. That’s the consensus of scores of different research efforts over the past two decades, including reports like the UN’s International Resource Panel, which noted, “Rapid urban and industrial growth in recent decades have placed huge pressure on the world’s natural resources, leading to threats of resource scarcity, price inflation, and degraded ecosystems.”1
