The Transition Town model is being used around the world to help communities become more resilient in response to climate change and "peak oil". The objectives of the Transition Town process are to:
- Explore and then follow community pathways to practical actions that will reduce our carbon emissions and dependence on fossil fuels; and
- Build community resilience to withstand shocks from the outside through being more self reliant in areas such as food, energy, health care, and economics.
The process develops symbiotic relationships that tap into the genius residing within our communities, and which allows communities to determine how they will transition towards "energy descent."
These relocalization efforts are designed to result in a life that is more fulfilling, socially connected, and resilient
