Here are those two films if you want to watch them here, although of course a visit to Creative Climate is also highly recommended. Keen viewers will be able to see my runner beans growing in a couple of shots…

“Brixton: Transitioning to a low-carbon economy”.
I did an interview the other day for Kontext, who are a German/Austrian online TV programme broadcasting from the Copenhagen climate talks. The resultant show which features many other people who actually speak German, and me, who clearly doesn’t and am therefore dubbed, is now online. It can’t be embedded unfortunately, but you can watch it here. (The interview with me starts after about 1 hour 6 minutes).
A new post has opened up with the Transition Network. The role of the Diversity Project Coordinator will be to ‘develop models and practices to enable the transition movement to successfully engage across culture, race, faith and income groups.’ The recent research by Gill Seyfang, A Fine City in Transition gives a good picture of how Transition is reaching many people that environmental campaigns haven’t attracted (for example, 30% of people in Transition Norwich have never previously been involved in environmental groups).

Klimaforum the people’s conference has started slowly. Maybe a 1000-2000 of us in many different locations feeling our way into perhaps the defining moment of our life and times which this conference represents and reflect the hopes an fears of our generation in a way that no other I have even been to does. There is a tension and an intensity that I have never felt before. Even though the first day felt a bit like a party conference, people wandering in and out of speeches that went on too long.
Transition Network is delighted to be able to present the first in an occasional series of pdf. only ‘How to’ guides, focusing on the experience of the Lewes Pound, and how to set up a similar scheme. Written by Oliver Oliver Dudok van Heel, one of the scheme’s founders, it is a clear and concise guide, a delicious taster for Pete North’s ‘Local Money’, (the second in the ‘Transition Books’ series, after ‘Local Food’) due out in March. To help us cover the costs of its production, we’d really appreciate donations along the lines of what you think it is worth to you and how helpful you found it. You can download the guide here, and make donations via the button below. We hope you find it useful.
