Cos'è ASPO-Italia?

ASPO-Italia è la sezione italiana dell'associazione scientifica ASPO (Association for the Study of Peak Oil) il cui scopo principale è lo studio del Picco del Petrolio, delle sue gravi conseguenze sui sistemi ecologici, economici e sociali, e della mitigazione di questi effetti. Si occupa inoltre dell'esaurimento delle risorse non rinnovabili, dell'inquinamento, dei cambiamenti climatici, e più in generale dei limiti alla crescita economica. ASPO-Italia è formata principalmente, ma non solo, da studiosi ed esperti nei campi dell'energia, delle risorse, dell'economia e dell'ambiente.
