Transition. It can mean different things to different people. Here's what it means to some of the many local changemakers involved in our movement - and why it's important...

Congratulations to SERO on the grand opening of their new Scrapstore on Saturday!

It feels like the challenges facing us require all our creativity, imagination and resourcefulness as we face them together. that's the story this project is telling each and every day, as local people in Carmarthen find new ways to come together, to share what we have and to build wonderful new community solutions.

Folks joined in with all kinds of upcycling and crafty materials, and the Scrapstore joins the community climate hubs other regular projects, a Library of Things, New2Us swapshop for children's supplies, skillshares, repair cafe and much more.

Don't you think there should be one in every town?!

Transition hit the headlines when it made the final text at #COP28. As a movement that’s been talking about Transition for almost 20 years, here’s what we mean by it: communities reimagining & rebuilding our world, energy, transport, food systems and more.

It’s from the ground up: people working together locally to address the big complex problems of our time.

Transition is how we get from one thing to another – from a damaging, polluting, unequal present to a fairer, more resilient, regenerative future for all.

Transition means change and transformation, because business as usual isn’t serving us. It’s good to see delegates at COP28 recognise that and catch up with what many communities have been actively doing for many years to transition away from fossil fuels.

Here’s what leaders need to know, though. Transition is not just an aspiration, it’s practical action. Community-owned renewables, local food, sharing resources, building systems that work for everyone. Communities must be involved - the scale of change needed can’t only come from the top.

The good news is we don’t need to wait to be led – we’re showing the way. Governments and funders can back the incredible work being done in communities - and unlock more of it - by supporting it, giving it space and resources, listening, learning and amplifying it.

COP28 finally listened to the call to ‘transition away’ from fossil fuels. There's no time to waste, we're ready, let's get on with it.
