Introduction

Transition Network was set up in spring 2007 to support Transition Initiatives around the world.

Here's what we focus on.

-------------------------------

The mission of our embryonic charity is:
  • to inspire
  • to encourage
  • to network
  • to support and
  • to train
communities as they consider, adopt, adapt and implement the transition model in order to establish a Transition Initiative in their locale. The transition model emboldens communities to look peak oil and climate change squarely in the eye and unleash the collective genius of their own people to find the answers to this big question:
for all those aspects of life that this community needs in order
to sustain itself and thrive, how are we going to:
  • significantly rebuild resilience (in response to peak oil)
  • drastically reduce carbon emissions (in response to
climate change)?
Typically, self-determined solutions will involve some flavour of relocalisation.

-------------------------------

We're building a range of materials, training courses, events, tools & techniques, resources and a general support capability to help these communities.

It's early days, so we have a long way to go. But we understand how massive the task is, and we're giving it everything we've got. Recent funding from Tudor Trust and the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation has given us a firm platform for our work.

We're hoping that through this work, communities across the UK will unleash their own collective genius and embark on an imaginative and practical range of connected initiatives, leading to a way of life that is more resilient, more fulfilling and more equitable, and that has dramatically lower levels of carbon emissions.
