So Many Transitions

Reaction to major global changes have created many initiatives that include the term “Transition”. Below are three (including our own Transition Town movement) that may be of interest.

The Transition Town movement is a worldwide movement of local communities: a street, a neighborhood, a village, a town, addressing global challenges at the local level. Every Transition Town entity is independent and is based on the creative thinking and community energy. Kingston Transition has become a forum where local individuals, organizations and activists already involved in Transition related activities can share information, find synergies, learn, collaborate and pass on information to their constituencies.

Just Transition has its roots in the labor movement but has become a framework for a fair shift to an economy that is ecologically sustainable, equitable and just for all its members. It is based on the belief that change is inevitable but justice requires conscious work. The Good Work Institute based in Kingston acts as a catalyst for a Just Transition movement in the Hudson Valley, by cultivating, connecting, supporting, and illuminating the work of people who are fostering resilience and regeneration. More information and opportunities for programs and events related to Just Transition can be found on their website

Great Transitions is a movement that looks to redirect the global trajectory towards a socially equitable, culturally enriched, and ecologically resilient civilization. Currently multiple threads of interdependence, including economic globalization, communications technology, climate change and the global pandemic are binding people, places, and the community of life into a single social-ecological system. But a continuing and even increasing state-centric geopolitical order undercuts this global community, as does the demand for profits over needs and economic growth over ecological resilience. The voices behind the Great Transitions movement say we need a massive and coherent global citizens movement to achieve systemic change. By forging a globalized community with shared risks and opportunities, we can make broad cultural and political change possible. More information at https://greattransition.org/
