Enduring peace in the Anthropocene

Published 2025 – The world is witnessing an ongoing pandemic of devastation, violence and suffering in multiple conflicts. The destruction of Gaza and sacrifice of its inhabitants in the name of security is particularly outrageous and revealing of modern hubris, ignorant of any concept of human dignity.

The new report to The Club of Rome: Enduring peace in the Anthropocene is a collection of essays from members exploring the potential and limitations for humanity to learn from the nefarious consequences of its actions and start creating the conditions for peace among humans and with the planet. It calls for a radical transformation of our values, institutions, and behaviours towards a culture of cooperation, compassion, and care for all life on Earth. 

Instead of presenting a unified voice or a single statement, the report invites many members of The Club of Rome to express their own views and concerns on peace and war, so that the diversity of voices can reflect the richness and complexity of viewpoints and open up space for dialogue and learning.  

The publication hopes to inspire and encourage more people to join the conversation and to take action for peace in their own contexts and capacities. It is a step towards a more comprehensive and impactful programme of activities on planetary peace in the Anthropocene, contributing to the global dialogue and action for a peaceful and sustainable future.
