Transition town

The terms transition town, transition initiative and transition model refer to grassroot community projects that aim to increase self-sufficiency to reduce the potential effects of peak oil,^[1] climate destruction, and economic instability^[2] through renewed localization strategies, especially around food production and energy usage.^[3] In 2006, the founding of Transition Town Totnes in the United Kingdom became an inspiration for other groups to form. The Transition Network charity was founded in early 2007, to support these projects. A number of the groups are officially registered with the Transition Network.^[4] Transition initiatives have been started in locations around the world, with many located in the United Kingdom and others in Europe, North America and Australia.^[2]^[5] While the aims remain the same, Transition initiatives' solutions are specific depending on the characteristics of the local area.^[6]
