TRANSITION INITIATIVES

Transition Initiatives is a positive, empowered response to the challenges of our times. Initiated in the UK in 2006, already this approach to the critical necessity of RELOCALISING is gaining momentum worldwide. 50 communities have begun working with this model for their transition to more sustainable, more fulfilling, more socially connected and more equitable lifestyles; 600 communities ñ like Transition Shores Village – are currently investigating what the Transition Initiatives commitment REALLY MEANS.
