Climate Change & Peak Energy: Improving Your Community's Resilience

Is Your Community Ready?

Higher prices for oil and gas will impact the price of most goods and services, and municipal budgets.  Increased reliance on unconventional fuels will also increase environmental pollutants, while contributing to climate change and human health problems.  Add increasing concerns over safe water supplies, and sharp rises in natural gas prices; municipalities can expect to take the brunt of the impacts of climate change and peak energy.

Join us for a session with Richard Heinberg, author and senior fellow, Post Carbon Institute.

This event is for rural and urban planners, staff, councilors, economic development officers and community organizations who want to develop action plans that will allow their community to innovate and thrive in an age of uncertainty.
