Introduction to Transition for Co-operators

Workshop leader : Ben Brangwyn

An introduction to the Transition movement which presents a response to the twin threats of climate change and peak oil by building resilient communities.

Transition offers a way of thinking about the multiple crises facing us - including the current economic downturn - and presents a positive, optimistic approach of working in our communities to lower our dependence on fossil fuels by encouraging local production of food, energy, shelter and everything else we need to create a low-carbon, more equitable and thoroughly convivial life for ourselves and our grandchildren.

Ben is a co-founder of the Transition Network
