Introducing the Transition Towns Initiative

The Transition Towns Initiative is a global project that aims to help communities meet the emerging challenges of climate change and peak oil.  The aim of the initiative is to raise awareness of sustainable living and to build local economic and ecological resilience within the community in an agreed time frame.  Transition initiatives have been established in many countries and in all Australian states.

Communities participating in this initiative develop “Energy Descent Action Plans” wherein they explore methods for reducing energy usage as well as reducing reliance on long supply chains for such essential items as food.
