Answer 1

Both Limits and Malthusianism share a focus on population control and the need for sustainable development.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both Limits and Malthusianism share a focus on population control. Malthus believed that population growth should be limited to avoid widespread misery, and he identified war, famine, and disease as the natural checks on population growth. Similarly, Limits to Growth, a report published in 1972, predicted that humanity would face disastrous consequences due to the overuse of resources and advocated for sustainable development to control population growth and resource consumption.
