The Transition Movement

The Transition Network    This is the place to go for the best overview of the international Transition Initiative movement.

Transition U.S.   The United States "mothership."

The Transition Companion    To really understand Transition Initiatives, we highly recommend reading this inspiring and informative book by Rob Hopkins, available at Bookshop Santa Cruz.

Information Resources

The Post-Carbon Institute   The non-profit group that Transition US is a part of, and another great resource. From here you can link to Global Public Media, a large library of articles, audio, and video about Post-Carbon-related topics, and Energy Bulletin.

Bay Localize   An inspiring non-profit based in Oakland. Bay Localize is not a Transition Initiative, but they have a similar focus on local resilience and have done some of the best work we've seen on uniting resilience concepts with social justice issues.

Energy Descent Action Plans  Many cities have undertaken plans to prepare for life after oil; see this page for a sampling.

Peak Oil and Energy Descent Talking Points  These are useful in explaining this widely misunderstood body of knowledge to public officials and others.

Lloyd's of London White Paper on Sustainable Energy Security   Very well-grounded and readable.
