Club of Rome
Christopher J. Orr from the University of Waterloo has described how Pierre Trudeau was part of the Club of Rome[2]:
- In 1968 Aurelio Peccei and Alexander King were formulating their ideas around the Problématique — the idea that seemingly unrelated global problems were connected. According to them, quantitative growth had led to overpopulation, environmental destruction, urban pollution, social discontent, and other problems. It was as yet unclear how to connect these problems.
- They quietly reached out to Pierre Trudeau and the Canadian government. From 1969 until at least the late 1970s, there was ongoing communication with the Club of Rome, support for its activities, and consideration of its ideas by senior levels of the Canadian federal government, including Trudeau, the Prime Minister’s Office, the Privy Council Office, members of the Liberal cabinet, senators, and the governor general.
- On 15–16 June 1969, founding members of the Club of Rome, including Peccei and King, first met with Trudeau and members of the Canadian government. This meeting included members of the pmo, the pco, representatives from the Science Secretariat, the scc, the Department of External Affairs, the Department of National Defence, and Senator Maurice Lamontagne.[3] On 16 June, 1969 an informal dinner included Trudeau. Peccei and King argued, "Nothing short of a comprehensive systems approach on a world-wide basis can be fully effective."[4][2]
- Peccei emphasized the political nature of these problems and the need for an "Act of political will."[5] He specifically requested Canada’s leadership to initiate global efforts to address the Problématique and provide financial support to study the problem. [2]
