SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_development
" Following the Club of Rome report, an MIT research group prepared ten days of hearings on "Growth and Its Implication for the Future" http://www.wpainc.com/Archive/MIT/Growth%20and%20Its%20Implications.pdf
(Roundtable Press, 1973)[12] for the US Congress, the first hearings ever held on sustainable development. "

SUSTAINABILITY
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainability
"Sustainability is the process of maintaining change in a balanced environment, in which the exploitation of resources, the direction of investments, the orientation of technological development and institutional change are all in harmony and enhance both current and future potential to meet human needs and aspirations.[1] For many in the field, sustainability is defined through the following interconnected domains or pillars: environment, economic and social, which according to Fritjof Capra[2] is based on the principles of Systems Thinking."

SYSTEM DYNAMICS
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_dynamics
" The best known SD model is probably the 1972 The Limits to Growth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Limits_to_Growth This model forecast that exponential growth of population and capital, with finite resource sources and sinks and perception delays, would lead to economic collapse during the 21st century under a wide variety of growth scenarios.

...

The second major noncorporate application of system dynamics came shortly after the first. In 1970, Jay Forrester was invited by the Club of Rome to a meeting in Bern, Switzerland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_of_Rome The Club of Rome is an organization devoted to solving what its members describe as the "predicament of mankind"—that is, the global crisis that may appear sometime in the future, due to the demands being placed on the Earth's carrying capacity (its sources of renewable and nonrenewable resources and its sinks for the disposal of pollutants) by the world's exponentially growing population.

" Can the Earth's resources support mankind, with its present economic and population growth rates, in the next millennium? What can be done to confront possible global collapse? Is a sustainable future possible?

CIRCULAR ECONOMY
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_economy
" To achieve models that are economically and environmentally sustainable, the circular economy focuses on areas such as design thinking, systems thinking, product life extension, and recycling.

...

Sustainability: The circular economy seems intuitive to be more sustainable than the current linear economic system. Reducing the resources used, and the waste and leakage created, conserves resources and helps to reduce environmental pollution. However, it is argued by some that these assumptions are simplistic; that they disregard the complexity of existing systems and their potential trade-offs.
