About Us
Transition Cornwall was founded in June 2007 as a partnership initiative working to support the communities of Cornwall in addressing two of the greatest challenges of our time: climate change and oil depletion. Its aim is to become a hub that co-ordinates and catalyses the research and ideas of a diverse network of groups, organisations, associates and individuals from the private, public, community and voluntary sector. Transition Cornwall seeks to facilitate positive and pro-active responses to the problems we face, with the ultimate aim of creating a vibrant, resilient, low carbon Cornwall.
Transition Cornwall has specific aims and objectives, which include the support of emerging and existing Transition Initiatives across Cornwall. It has fostered strong, strategic partnerships at the County level, which enable it to access funding streams that can help grow the Transition Movement.
Transition Cornwall grew out of the highly successful Transition Penwith project, and is working closely with the UK-wide Transition Network based in Devon, and the Transition Towns Movement.
