Transition Network
The Transition Network Newsletter

DECEMBER 2015
Supporting community-led responses to climate change
and shrinking supplies of cheap energy,
building resilience and happiness.

Inside reports from COP21 and starting our exploration of ways to re-tell the Transition Story headline this month’s newsletter. We also hear of research on Inner Transition in Canada, REconomy goes to Wigan, you can listen to a new Transition song from SWIMBY and recalling the cold winter of 1963. Plus a Training update and book reviews.


Transition Network at COP21
By the time you read this, it is likely that some kind of agreement will have been reached at COP21, although we don’t yet know the details.  Various Transitioners were, and still are, in Paris, and have documented their experiences and insights here.  You can read about being inside COP21, the French launch of ’21 Stories of Transition’, the bizarre spectacle of the ‘Solutions COP21’ event, the Human Chain, the Village of Alternatives, the amazing film Demain, and just what it was like being in Paris over those days, and much more besides.
Rob Hopkins, Chris Bird, Naresh Giangrande and Henry Owen all wrote blogs, with others to come from Sarah Ayech and others.  Over on the Transition Italia blog, Luca Lombroso has also been blogging from COP.  We hope you find them an interesting and useful insights into this unique moment in history.

Transition Story logoTHEME: The Transition Story

Time to stop talking about climate change?
Would Transition benefit from redefining itself as « a movement of communities coming together to reimagine and rebuild our world » and spend less time talking about the issues that drive why we do what we want to do?

Telling the Transition Story – a workshop
A video of the workshop Sarah McAdam and Rob Hopkins presented at the 2015 Transition Network International Conference. It gives brief overview of the basic idea of a new way of telling the Transition story and suggested story flow. It goes into the discussion in more depth and which includes the questions and debate it generated.

REconomy REconomy logo

The Road from Wigan Pier
Delighted to announce the next in the REconomy series of regional events in the UK. This year we have been in Devon, Powys and now looking forward to Wigan. The political idea of a ‘Northern Powerhouse’ is growing. But what is its purpose? What is our response? How do we benefit?

THINKING ALOUD

The most beautiful song about Transition yet created?
Songs about Transition, tend to be universally dire. For some time Rob has been on the lookout for a song that somehow captures the essence of what it is that we do, a kind of (inter)national anthem for Transition. As part of SWIMBY, lyricist Matt Harvey, composer Thomas Hewitt-Jones and producer Chloe Uden have created a song called ‘In Our Own Back Yard’ which is as close to that as he has yet found.

BOOK REVIEWS

Austerity Ecology & the Collapse-Porn Addicts by Leigh Phillips.
A tirade which starts out attempting to sound rational and informed, but which as the book goes on, loses the plot entirely.
