Welcome to Transition Stockport.

We are a community movement aiming to make Stockport more resilient and sustainable. We want you to help create positive local solutions to the twin challenges of 'peak oil' and climate change, and make our town a better place to live.

From oil dependency...

Our whole way of life, from the food on our plates to the daily commute, is deeply reliant on oil and other fossil fuels. These fossil fuels will not last forever, and fewer global oil supplies will lead to high prices and shortages. We also know that we need to be making huge, rapid cuts in our carbon emissions over the next few years in order to avoid dangerous climate change. These are massive challenges, which affect every aspect of our lives.

...by employing adaptability, creativity and ingenuity...

Transition projects are a positive, creative response to the twin challenges of climate change and peak oil. Transition is about creating an opportunity for ordinary people like us to get together at this critical time in our history to find our own local solutions. It's about reducing our reliance on oil, cutting our carbon emissions, and making our communities better places to live.

...to local resilience.

Provided we plan in good time and take the necessary action, there is no reason why we should not look forward to a sustainable future that is abundant, energy lean, time rich, less stressful, healthier and happier.
