The challenges we face, the Perfect Storm, are unique in human history.
We face dwindling supplies of energy and the challenge of transitioning to non-fossil fuels globally. We face the challenge of the effects of over 160 years of burning large amounts of fossil fuels, wasting water, destroying the ecological services upon whihc our civilization and our lives depend.
Communities must become resilient to both long-term and short term anomalies in terms of climate and energy, and thus economics. |
