What is the Transition Initiative?
The “Transition” network was established in 2007 building
upon the work of founders Rob Hopkins and Ben Brangwyn. Rob
started in the town of Kinsale in 2004 with his Master Thesis on
“Energy Descent Pathways – Evaluating potential responses to
Peak Oil” with the University of Plymouth. His central
hypothesis was that western societies are dependent upon cheap
oil and that an unplanned interruption in supply would be
disastrous. He went on to suggest that Communities could rebuild
their resilience by re-discovering local patterns of
sustainability. The response would be community-led. His ideas
were tested in Kinsale and touched a raw nerve of growing
anxiety throughout the global community - the idea exploded with
several towns copying the principle in quick succession. It was
an idea whose time had come. Communities were no longer willing
to be led. Climate Change was looming. The writing was on the
wall. Ideas of resource depletion on a finite planet were
intuitive yet we seemed to be accelerating rather than braking.
One by one communities stepped up to tackle the problem. The
“Transition Model” was born and has been adopted by hundreds of
communities across the UK and globally including Bristol,
Brighton and Nottingham. Funding from the Tudor Trust has put
the model on a firm foundation such that it now offers support,
training and events.
