Forum to Focus on ”Peak Oil and the Environment”

A three-day conference to address the implications of two overlapping global crises — the coming peak in worldwide oil production and the continuing disruption of ecosystems due to global climate change — convenes in Washington, DC, from May 7 to May 9 at the Marvin Center (800 21st St. NW).

With this year’s theme on “Peak Oil and the Environment,” the conference offers more than 20 leading sustainability thinkers, scientists and policymakers exploring the challenges of oil production peaking, and its implications for the economy, climate, geopolitical stability and human well-being; and possible adaptations, including alternative energy sources and reducing energy use.
