The Club of Rome is a global think tank that deals with a variety of international political issues. Founded in 1968 at Accademia dei Lincei inRome, Italy, the CoR describes itself as "a group of world citizens, sharing a common concern for the future of humanity." It consists of current and former Heads of State, UN bureaucrats, high-level politicians and government officials, diplomats, scientists, economists, and business leaders from around the globe. It raised considerable public attention in 1972 with its report The Limits to Growth. The club states that its mission is "to act as a global catalyst for change through the identification and analysis of the crucial problems facing humanity and the communication of such problems to the most important public and private decision makers as well as to the general public." Since 1 July 2008, the organization has its headquarters in Winterthur, Switzerland.
The truth is the CoR is an Illuminati and New World Order (NWO) think tank and subsidiary.
The Club of Rome is an independent, non-profit organisation.
In its work the Club of Rome is addressing the root causes of the challenges and crises the world faces today: our current concepts of growth, development and globalisation.The Club of Rome acts as a platform which brings together academics, scientists, politicians, business professionals and members of the civil society to design, develop and implement effective approaches on a broad range of interconnected global issues. These issues include environmental sustainability, economic growth, resource consumption, peace, security and demographics.
The Club’s International Centre is located in Winterthur, Switzerland.
2. How does the Club of Rome work?
Together with scientists, experts and decision makers from politics, business and international organisations the Club of Rome is working on recommendations to deal with a broad range of critical global issues like climate, energy, peace, security and social transformation.

Among the Club’s priorities for future activities are its work with the younger generation and with universities as hubs for knowledge and education.
3. Where does the Club of Rome originate?
In 1968 a small group of international professionals from the fields of diplomacy, industry, academia and civil society gathered in Rome to discuss their concerns regarding economic growth and unlimited resource consumption in an increasingly interdependent world. This marked the first meeting of the Club of Rome led by Italian industrialist Aurelio Peccei and Scottish scientist Alexander King.
Their concerns were framed in the first report to the Club of Rome in 1972 ‘The Limits to Growth’ commissioned by the Club from a group of scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The report highlighted a number of scenarios for the longer term future of humanity and the planet. It suggested how effective policies and cooperative action could contain the threats to the future. The Club met frequently and raised awareness of world leaders and major decision makers on such crucial matters.
Today, the Club works in partnership with organisations such as UNESCO, OECD, Globe International and a broad range of global and regional NGOs. The Club, in close collaboration with its partner organisations issues targeted policy notes and briefings for international decision-makers and the broad public.
