Post Carbon Eugene and the University of Oregon's Cultural Forum present... http://culturalforum.uoregon.edu/issues A presentation for area government officials and staff, and University of Oregon students** and faculty on global energy trends and what cities across the country are already doing in response. Followed by working discussion with Richard Heinberg and Daniel Lerch. Featuring: Richard Heinberg Post Carbon Institute.

Richard will be viewed live—exclusively-- by webcast from Sebastopol, CA. AND Daniel Lerch Post Carbon Institute. National expert on local government responses to peak oil, and author of * Richard will present an overview with: Peak Everything: Community Resilience In a Century of Cascading Crises The 20th century saw unprecedented growth in population, energy consumption and food production. * Global oil, natural gas, and coal extraction rates * Yearly grain harvests * Climate stability * Population * Economic growth * Fresh water * Minerals and metals, from antimony to zinc It is a challenging picture. But communities, families, and individuals can do a great deal to prepare for spiraling resource costs and supply chain interruptions. Significantly, the very strategies that will enhance community resilience will also help make our lives more connected and meaningful. If we act sensibly and soon, the crises of our time could become opportunities to build a sustainable future. Daniel will present on: * the changing energy and climate contexts of the 21st century; * the facts and fiction surrounding 'peak oil', and how the problem is really a much broader, more complex issue of 'energy uncertainty'; * what energy uncertainty means for cities, and why local governments in particular should take action on it; * the parallel and evolving threat of 'climate uncertainty' and what it means for cities and their local governments; * what 'early actor' cities in the U.S. and Canada have already done in response to energy uncertainty; and * recommendations for what local governments should do about the combined threat challenge of 'energy and climate uncertainty.' Every day, businesses, government agencies and households in Lane County plan and make decisions based on the assumption that oil and natural gas will remain plentiful and affordable.
