No Limits To Hope

Transforming learning for better futures

Unlocking transformative learning for a sustainable future

The “No Limits to Hope” initiative is a significant new initiative led by a flagship programme of the Club of Rome, The Fifth Element, and the WEEC Network (World Environmental Education Congress), the worldwide community of research and practice in Environmental Education. This project marks the 45th anniversary of the influential No Limits to Learning report. It aims to unlock the full potential of learning to create positive changes for people and the planet.

Why this matters

We face multiple global crises, from environmental damage to social inequality. To tackle these challenges, we must change how we think and learn. This project is designed to shift mindsets to foster a fairer, healthier world by exploring new ways of collaborative learning and problem-solving.

Key project goals

Catalyse Cultural Change: Transforming how we think and act is imperative for building a healthier planet and creating equitable opportunities for all.

Facilitate Transformative Learning: Use the power of learning to inspire innovation and overcome barriers to real change.

Create new knowledge: Expand on the original No Limits to Learning (1979) report to reflect current global challenges and opportunities and offer new insights for the future.

Vision and Inspiration

Aurelio Peccei, founder of the Club of Rome, wrote in the preface of No Limits to Learning, “What we all need is to learn what it takes to learn what we should learn—and learn it.” This vision drives our project, inspiring us to rethink how we can learn together in ways that benefit both people and the planet.

Carlos Álvarez Pereira, Secretary General of The Club of Rome, explains: “When many transformative learning initiatives come together, they create the conditions for mutual learning and real change, moving us toward a healthier and more equitable world.”

Mario Salomone, Secretary-General of the WEEC Network, adds: “Learning can take us in many directions, from selfishness to cooperation, from conservative ideas to innovative ones. Unlike material growth, which has limits on a finite planet, learning is limitless.”

How we will achieve these goals

We are working on various activities to inspire action and learning worldwide:

Workshops and seminars: Interactive events to explore how learning can drive real-world solutions to global problems.

Research and reports: Updating the original No Limits to Learning report, reflecting on what has changed and offering new ideas for the future.

Global conferences: Present key findings at the 13th WEEC in 2026 in Perth, Australia, and other international events in order to engage a global audience.

Community engagement: Spark dialogue and cooperation on transformative learning by working with educators, policymakers, and community leaders.

Our audience

This research project aims to stimulate a global debate on learning by involving and addressing the international community, specifically educational organisations, scholars, academics, teachers, educators, and all practitioners.

Outcomes

International research will contribute to fostering reflection about education involving a large audience of institutions, students, researchers, scholars and teachers. Conferences and webinars will be organised to disseminate the research, and articles will be published.

Moreover, as a final tangible outcome, the project aims to publish a report in 2026 that will revisit the concepts and principles first discussed in the 1979 Report to the Club of Rome – No Limits to Learning. The book will be translated into Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish, which are allofficial languages of the United Nations. Your contribution will ensure widespread reach and engagement with the global community. All donors, supporters, and partners will be listed in the book, both in the digital and printed versions, gaining international visibility.
