Publications

Reports to the Club of Rome are peer-reviewed studies commissioned by the Executive Committee, or suggested by members or collaborators. The reports are intended to help better understand major global issues and seek to foster a greater sense of civic responsibility. The Club also publishes shorter, policy-oriented documents. These contain concrete policy proposals and are aimed at a broader audience of decision-makers, businesses, civil society and the general public.
