The International Conference on Peak Oil and Climate Change: Paths to Sustainability explores the root cause of rising gas prices, global warming, biodiversity loss and other indicators of global unsustainability. Participants then focus on the concepts of sustainability and the associated value systems and cultural visions. A spectrum of breakout seminar presentations led by professionals and experts help businesses, governments, individuals and communities move towards a vision of local cultures of sustainability.

The International Conference on Peak Oil and Climate Change: Paths to Sustainability is hosted by Local Future, a nonprofit community education organization founded by educator Aaron Wissner.
