Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum isn’t the only bully on the block.
Club of Rome President Sandrine Dixson-Declève is calling for a “Chinese-styled “Giant Leap” in the style of Mao Zedong’s “Great Leap Forward” which will bring a “complete shake-up” that “will create shocks” to the current economic model which culminates in “significant redistribution of wealth.”
Dixson-Declève made the comments at The Beyond Growth 2023 Conference, which describes itself, saying “this three days major event is a cross-party initiative of 20 Members of the European Parliament, supported by a wide-range of partner organisations, which follows the success of the Post-Growth 2018 conference.”
The Post-Growth 2018 Conference openly discusses economic advancement in direct conflict with climate change.
Dixon-Declève argues for “Five extraordinary turnarounds” are openly couched in terms of wealth redistribution.
“Who is taking the wealth now? It is not properly redistributed.”
Dixon-Declève describes the “Giant Leap” envisioned by European leaders in grand terms.
“This is everything, everywhere, all at once. It will create shocks,” Dixon-Declève said.
“The second scenario is the Giant Leap … to reach as many sustainable development goals in Europe’s vision of a social and green region. We wanted to take a systems approach to explore if we can achieve an acceptable level of well-being for the global majority on a finite planet,” she said.
“Nothing less than the following five turn-arounds are needed to have well-being for all, while respecting planetary boundaries:
“Ending poverty; addressing gross inequality; achieving full gender equity; transforming the food system and the way we eat; transitioning to clean energy and efficient energy.”
“We argue that these five extraordinary turn-arounds and the set of economic reforms that drive them form the basis of the ‘Well-Being Economy. It is not a blueprint, but more of a guide for systemic transformation.”
“In this scenario poverty ends a generation earlier than ‘too-little, too late.’ We see gender empowerment in one generation — not ten. We see a switch to healthier, plant-based diets. … And we halve carbon dioxide emissions every decade to reach net zero by 2050.”
“The economic model everywhere is circular, regenerative, and efficient. Material consumption of unsustainable resources is reined in, fossil energy phased out, and we see a significant redistribution of wealth.”
“In this scenario we introduce a ‘universal basic Dividend,” operating like a Universal Basic Income, with dividends coming to all people, sharing the wealth of the global commons and public goods. Who is taking the wealth now? It is not properly redistributed. This is not utopic. This is what is fair and just and is what a society in transformation is all about. Why do we think this is important? We know the giant leap will be disruptive. We’re talking about a complete shake-up. This is everything, everywhere, all at once. It will create shocks. But if it is to succeed then we must bring the majority of people along the journey.” [CLIP END]

Dixon-Declève’s speech to the The Beyond Economic Growth 2023 Conference can be seen in their entirety here.
Dixson-Declève is lauded as an expert who will help save the planet, ostensibly by sorting out complex systems and giving TED Talks, according to her YouTube bio.
“Sandrine Dixson-Declève is an international climate change, sustainable development and sustainable finance leader.”
The Club of Rome describes itself as a “platform of diverse thought leaders who identify holistic solutions to complex global issues and promote policy initiatives and action to enable humanity to emerge from multiple planetary emergencies.”
According to industrialists in Brussels, “Sandrine Dixson-Declève is the most internationally renowned expert on energy and environmental policy and has been Co-President of the Club of Rome since 2018.”
Dixson-Declève also delivered a keynote address to the Association of European Refrigeration Component Manufacturers in 2022.
Her talk was to cover a “a comprehensive overview of climate change and energy policy.”
Dixson-Declève’s bio reads like that of a softer, gentler Dr. Evil:
She is currently the Co-President of the Club of Rome and divides her time between lecturing, facilitating change in business and policy models and advisory work. She holds several advisory positions for the European Commission: Chair, Expert Group on Economic and Societal Impact of Research & Innovation (ESIR); Assembly Member, Climate Mitigation & Adaptation Mission (DGR&I); Former member of Technical Expert Group (TEG) on Sustainable Finance and current member of Platform on Sustainable
Finance; United Nations: Food Summit Action Track 5 Resilience, She sits on the Boards
companies/organisations/institutes such as BMW, EDP, UCB, Climate KIC, UCL-Bartlett School of Environment and the IEEP. Sandrine is also a Senior Associate and faculty member of the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), Ambassador, for the Energy Transition Commission (ETC) and WEALL. She co-founded the Women Enablers Change Agent Network (WECAN) and has been recognised by GreenBiz as one of the 30 most influential women across the globe driving change in the low carbon economy and promoting green business.
Dixson-Declève graduated from University of California, Davis with a Bachelor’s degree in International Relations and French. She also holds a Master’s degree in Environmental Sciences from the University of Brussels, according to her Wikipedia entry.
Dixson-Declève was appointed as Co-presidents of the Club of Rome in 2018 along with South African apharteid activist Mamphela Aletta Ramphele. Ramphele’s leadership in South Africa has led to widespread anti-white racism, culminating in open chants to “Kill the Boer,” and academics who feel comfortable popularizing Toni Morrison’s and their new favorite fad, “Shooting the White Girl First.”
The two are the first women to lead the organization in its history, and were both re-elected for a second three-year term in 2021.
Dixson-Declève’s Wikipedia entry continues:
Dixson-Declѐve was Chief Partnership Officer for the UN Agency Sustainable Energy for All and prior to that was Director of the Prince of Wales’s Corporate Leaders Group and the EU office of the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (2009-2016). During this period she was also appointed as Executive Director of the Green Growth Platform bringing together EU Ministers and CEOs. She was Executive Director of Hart Energy Consulting’s International Sustainable Energy Exchange (ISEE).
Dixson-Declѐve has worked with chemical and petro-chemical producers and the Finnish Environment Institute (FEI) on the European Commission’s MTBE Risk Assessment.
Dixson-Declève currently Chairs the European Commission, Expert Group on Economic and Societal Impact of Research & Innovation (ESIR) and sits on several boards and advisory boards including Climate KIC, Laudes Foundation, EDP, BMW, UCB and is a Senior Associate and faculty member of the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL). In addition, she is an Ambassador, for the Energy Transition Commission (ETC) and the Well Being Alliance (WeAll) and a Fellow of the World Academy of Science & Art. In 2017 Sandrine co-founded the Women Enablers Change Agent Network (WECAN).[6]
Over her career, she has advised HRH The Prince of Wales, members of the European Parliament,[7] European Commission presidents, governments around the world,[8] international organizations (OPEC, ADB, OECD, UNEP, USAID, UNFCCC, IEA) and business leaders of large international, European and African companies. She advised the European Commission in its major stakeholder process on European Chemical policy and was a member of The Guardian’s Sustainable Business Advisory Board.
Until recently, Dixson-Declève was on the European Commissions Sustainable Finance Platform and Sustainable Finance Taxonomy Expert Group, Assembly Member, Climate Mitigation & Adaptation Mission (European Commission, DGR&I) and chaired the UCL Bartlett School of Environment Energy & Resources Advisory Board.
Dixson-Declève is based in Belgium, is married to Jeremy Evans Dixson and has two daughters, Zoe and Tessa Dixson.
She is fluent in French and English and has a basic knowledge of Spanish.
Belgian press accounts describe Sandrine Dixson-Declève as “Part Erin Brokovich, Part UN and EC (European Commission) Adviser. The same account describes The Club of Rome as at “thinktank” launched to warn about economic growth to humanity and to the globe.
The Club of Rome began in 1972 openly discussing its depopulation agenda, but the ideas are nothing new.
Thomas Malthus first popularized the idea that the planet couldn’t support human life in 1798.
The lunacy found a new audience, unsurprisingly, in the 1960s, as Paul and Anne Ehrlich released their 1968 book The Population Bomb, which predicted worldwide famine as a result of overpopulation.
Fast-forward to 2024, and Stanford University’s dumbest biologist and regularly wrong Rapture Predictor Paul Ehrlich is still getting air time on CBS’s 60 Minutes to declare, “I and the vast majority of my colleagues think we’ve had it; that the next few decades will be the end of the kind of civilization we’re used to.”
The Malthusianism might not have had the juice in the sixties or seventies.
But with the means of production consolidated into the hands of a few as they have been over the last fifty years, they just might be able to create their own famine.
The Club of Rome published a tome entitled The First Global Revolution in 1991.
The Club of Rome is not alone in their efforts.
The Council for The Human Future Pushes for Mass Population Reduction
Julian Crebb details the plan below, or here.
Julian Cribbs’s plan also aims to establish a “World Truth Commission” and create an “earth standard currency.”
Tell The Council For The Human Future what you think of them on Twitter.
Cribbs collaborated on this set of goals together with the Club of Rome Roundtable on the Human Future, published on August 1 of this year online at their website, and archived here.
A group calling itself “The Council for the Human Future” @Council_HF which is tied to the Club of Rome, openly espouses 75% reduction in earth’s population.
They prefer voluntary population demise vs. catastrophic die off…
But cataclysmic population crash is an option. pic.twitter.com/6l6hE8I3QD

Club of Rome is helping to push the Council for Human Future initiatives and their studies.
In a post called “Call For World Action On Multiple Threats,” The Club of Rome openly touts Julian Cribb, who openly discusses reducing the world’s population by 75%, perhaps even involuntarily.
“Science is agreed that human civilisation is now in deep trouble. Without a clear plan to save humanity on a habitable planet, it is most unlikely we will be able to do so,” said Julian Cribb, a co-founder of the Council for the Human Future.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology published “Limits to Growth” in 1972 in response to The Club of Rome’s call for proposals on the matter.
CHINA’S ONE CHILD POLICY: KISSINGER, ROCKEFELLER, and MAO
In 1973, David Rockefeller made a trip to China to visit with Mao. The purpose of the trip, ostensibly, was to discuss the opening up of the country’s economy.
Rockefeller’s foundation had spent the previous sixty years funding birth control studies in China. Within two weeks of that visit, China established the Family Planning Leadership Group.
Henry Kissinger published his Malthusian NSSM-200: Implications of Worldwide Population Growth for U.S. Security and Overseas Interests report soon after The Rockefeller visit.
Kissinger ominously wrote: “allocation of scarce resources should take account of what steps a country is taking in population control. There is an alternative view that mandatory programs may be needed.”
The deal was clear; If Mao’s China could demonstrate economic and population control progress to Western governments, to Kissinger, and to oligarchs like the Rockefellers, China would gain access to foreign investment.
The results of the grand bargain were apparent.
China initiated its one-child policy before the end of the decade, according to Encyclopedia Britannica.
Today, China is grappling with the challenges of an aging population.
The problem is so vast, even NPR was forced to acknowledge it: China’s Former 1-Child Policy Continues To Haunt Families.
The ties between the one-child policy and the Club of Rome are clear.
Jorgen Rangers, one of the original authors of the Limits to Growth report, has served as the Head of the Centre for the Ecological Civilization at Peking University.
Rangers is also a key figure with the China Association for the Club of Rome.
Rangers even appeared on the Chinese Global Television Network (CGTN) to discuss how China needs to shrink its economy.
CGTN is one of three branches of state-run China Media Group, and is under the control of the Central Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party.
BUT WIKIPEDIA SAYS IT’s a CONSPIRACY!
A Wikipedia article entitled “New World Order Conspiracy Theory” says “conspiracy theorists [claim] that established upper-class families with “old money” founded and finance the … Club of Rome” comprised of “conspirators plotting to impose a totalitarian New World Order—the implementation of an authoritarian world government controlled by the United Nations and a global central bank, which maintains political power through the financialization of the economy, regulation and restriction of speech through the concentration of media ownership, mass surveillance, widespread use of state terrorism.”
