Club of Rome ‘Earth4All’ Initiative

Original Article By Sean Miller

The New World Order think tank Club of Rome published its Earth4All Austria report in July which centers around possible interventions in the economy, society and the ‘earth systems’ as well as other policies similar to that of the World Economic Forum’s [WEF] Great Reset.

“Earth4All is an international initiative to accelerate the systemic change we need for a just future on a finite planet. Building on the frameworks of The Limits to Growth and “Planetary Boundaries”, business thinkers, scientists and stakeholders have joined forces to find ways to maximise social, environmental and economic wellbeing for all within planetary boundaries in this century,” the report said on page 1.

This particular report is focused on the country of Austria, although much of the verbiage is global in nature.

“Austria is one of the two pilot countries selected for an Earth4All initiative at national level. The national engagement work is being led by the Austrian Chapter of the Club of Rome and was launched in Autumn 2023 with a major kick-off event,” the report said on page 1. “It shows how different policy measures could affect human wellbeing, society and ecosystems in Austria up to the year 2050.”

It theorized two scenarios, ‘Too Little Too Late’ which continues what the authors referred to as the current economic trends of ‘unsustainable consumption, inequality and climate change’ and ‘Giant Leap’ where action is taken, action which sounds strikingly similar to that of the Great Reset.

“In this scenario [Giant Leap], societies make extraordinary decisions and investments that strengthen social cohesion, build trust, reduce poverty globally, transform food and energy systems and establish an economic system that aims for the wellbeing for all on a finite planet,” the report said on page 1.

The report discussed having to ‘activate several policy levers at the same time’ in order to achieve the ‘Giant Leap’ scenario.

The Earth4All Austria document lists five key action items that “have the potential to significantly break unfavourable trends of the past, improve living conditions in the long term, tackle polycrises and prevent the collapse of our ecosystems.”

Interestingly, the term ‘polycrises‘ was also used by the WEF. Another peculiar term used in the report is ‘planetary boundaries’ which implies a global order.

“The aim is to ensure a high quality of life while remaining within planetary boundaries,” the report said on page 1.

Equally notable, is the use of the word ‘stakeholder’ which invokes a connection to the ‘stakeholder capitalism‘ promoted by the WEF.

“Essential for contextualising Earth4All in Austria were a stakeholder process and modelling,” the report said on page 1.

The ‘Giant Leap’ scenario is an example of a path toward what the ‘stakeholders’ have agreed to accomplish by 2050.

“All stakeholders agree that we need a shared new vision for the future that we can work on together so that we can all live well within planetary boundaries in 2050,” the report said on page 2.

The key points necessary to achieving the ‘Giant Leap’ scenario of global change are elaborated upon on pages 3 and 4.

The first that’s touched on is ‘inequality’, in which the document recommended that ‘social justice’ polices, ‘climate‘ policies and redistribution of ‘tax fairness’ must be addressed.

The next key action item is that of ‘food’. It prioritized changing people’s diets to achieve food-system ‘fairness’ and ‘efficiency’ as well as land management. Notably insects are currentlybeing billed as the environmentally friendly option that doesn’t exploit nature as much as normal human food while also being manageable on less land.

Page 43 of the report specifically lists reducing meat consumption.

After food, the next key action item is that of energy. Ironically, the recommendation is to electrify everything while also reducing consumption while exponentially growing ‘renewable‘ sources of energy, three things which are at odds with one another.

After energy, the report discussed poverty, a key point of which is ‘transforming the financial architecture.’ One transformation of the financial architecture that is currently being developed, albeit separate from this report, is central bank digital currencies [CBDC’s]. 

The final key action the report lists is empowerment. Chiefly, since the report is focused on Austria where women are said to already be empowered, ‘marginalized‘ groups are now the focus.

The report goes on in its 104 pages to greatly elaborate on technicalities, challenges and potential remedies along with information pertinent to the topics related to the recommend ‘Giant Leap’.
