Our Mission

Mission:

Transition Nelson is part of a global movement to address the converging challenges of the 21st Century by enhancing community resilience.

Transition Nelson Aims to:

  • draw all sectors of our community together to create a deeper social fabric.
  • reduce our dependence on the fragile global systems which are reliant on diminishing supplies of cheap energy.
  • engage our collective wisdom to design, adapt and implement an Energy Descent Action Plan (EDAP) that will enable more appropriate energy consumption and local production of what we need.

Transition Nelson asks how to strengthen our community :

How do we:

  • Expand our capacity for local economic self-sufficiency?
  • Build the capacity to support many of the vital services that may be cut back?
  • Ensure personal health, security and safety?
  • Address environmental restoration and sustainability?
