ISSRC is committed to identifying approaches and technologies to support environmentally sustainable economic growth. Present world population of 6.3 billion is expected to pass 9 billion by 2050. If future per capita pollution and energy use matches present rates in developed countries, the impact on the world's environment will be catastrophic. It is critical to reduce the per capita pollution and energy use in developed countries and to find ways to help developing countries to obtain the desired economic growth at a reduced pollution and energy use rate.

ISSRC works with developing countries in Central and East Asia, Africa, and North and South America to build capacity and to meet sustainability goals.

"The simultaneous onset of climate change and the peaking of global oil supply represent unprecedented challenges for human civilisation.

Global oil peak has the potential to shake if not destroy the foundations of global industrial economy and culture. Climate change has the potential to rearrange the biosphere more radically than the last ice age. Each limits the effective options for responses to the other.

The strategies for mitigating the adverse effects and/or adapting to the consequences of Climate Change have mostly been considered and discussed in isolation from those relevant to Peak Oil. While awareness of Peak Oil, or at least energy crisis, is increasing, understanding of how these two problems might interact to generate quite different futures, is still at an early state.

FutureScenarios.org presents an integrated approach to understanding the potential interaction between Climate Change and Peak Oil using a scenario planning model. In the process I introduce permaculture as a design system specifically evolved over the last 30 years to creatively respond to futures that involve progressively less and less available energy.

"Twin Trike Enables Two People To Ride At The Same Time

The twin trike is an innovative tricycle concept that has been designed to ride two adults at a time with style and functionality. All the controls of the tricycle are operated by the front rider and it features two transmissions, the last tick and the rear axle. The rear rider can help by pedaling only and due to the higher seating arrangement he can watch ahead the road and warn the front rider about any upcoming obstacles. Most of the parts are made of carbon-fiber material, making the trike light and durable. When turning, the trike offers enhanced balance and safety by enabling the riders to move with the body frame to the desired direction. The tricycle contains headlights and signal lights for night driving and of course it can be driven by one person too if required.
