About the Post Carbon Cities Program
The Post Carbon Cities program helps local governments understand the challenges posed by energy and climate uncertainty, and provides resources for elected officials, planners, managers and others to develop plans and responses appropriate to their communities.
Post Carbon Cities is a program of Post Carbon Institute. Post Carbon Institute conducts research, develops resources and organizes leaders to aid the smooth transition of local economies to a world no longer dependent on hydrocarbon fuels nor emitting climate-changing levels of carbon: the post-carbon world.
"When we are approached by cities interested in taking the next step to address climate and energy challenges, we encourage them to take advantage of the resources that Post Carbon Cities has to offer. The Post Carbon Cities Program fills a unique niche in that it focuses on both peak oil and climate change issues, and offers practical direction for those communities that want to take action."
