Abstract
The Peren Theorem addresses the critical issue of unsustainable resource consumption by humans and its potential consequences for the planet. This theorem establishes a mathematical relationship that shows that human consumption of natural resources, if it exceeds the Earth’s regenerative capacity in the long term, will lead to the complete depletion of the planet’s natural environment. This article discusses the urgent need to shift to sustainable consumption patterns and reevaluate the definition of wealth.
