History
Aurelio Peccei and Alexander King founded The Club of Rome in 1968. Its organizational structure consists of a president, vice president, secretary general, treasurer, and executive committee, which holds the highest authority. The Club is composed of an international group of scientists, economists, business people, high civil servants, heads of state, and former heads of state who work together to identify the "world problematique" - the most crucial political, social, economic, technological, environmental, psychological, and cultural issues facing humanity. The Club's mission is to bring about change free of political, ideological, or business interests. Their mandate is to identify and analyze crucial global issues, generate alternative solutions, and raise awareness among important public and private decision-makers. The Club produces reports, sponsors conferences, and was an early user of the internet to disseminate information.
