Content: In the face of the globalism of the ’68 protester, the ’68 that pays increasingly strong attention to nature and the need to preserve it, on pain of catastrophe, has taken shape. Indicative of the new ecological attention is the research-and the related volume-The Limits to Growth, promoted by the Club of Rome. The results of the research “sparked” a worldwide debate and were subjected to deep criticism, both methodological and related to the conceptual framework. This issue of Futuribili aims to bring us to reflect on what remains of that research twenty-five years after it was carried out and on what will remain of its predictions in 2022, a date very much alive to the 2100 set as the final time of prediction by the research group. Eleonora Barbieri Masini and Giorgio Nebbia, who have intensely influenced future studies since its inception, have secured the collaboration of the most significant scholars in the field to reflect on both the conceptual and the content and methodological aspects of The limits to growth.
