Crystal Palace Transition Town is part of a global movement in which communities are working to make the transition to a future without oil. The idea started in Totnes, Devon and has spread around the world. It's about communities responding to the threats of climate change and 'peak oil' by taking positive action together.

Our use of oil and other fossils fuels is changing our climate. If we continue emitting carbon at the current rate we can expect our climate to be more volatile, with more climate disasters and more areas of the planet unable to sustain life. Transition is about living in ways which reduce the amount of carbon we use in everyday living. Learn more about climate change and how we can avoid it.
