Transition Ipswich Growing community resilience in Ipswich: the what, why, when, where, who and how Steve Marsden

What is Transition Ipswich? An environmental campaigning group? No. Another local green group? Definitely not. It’s something you do, not something you join! An emergent, grass roots, community driven process for increasing Ipswich’s resilience.

Why did Transition Ipswich emerge? People realised just how vulnerable our communities are to shocks from: Climate change Peak oil Resource depletion Economic changes

Hubbert Curve

Resources and economic growth Economic growth Resource availability Time Magnitude

The global Transition movement Kinsale (2005) Totnes (2006) Norwich (2007) Ipswich (2008) Suffolk & East of England Ipswich Massachusetts, Ipswich Queensland Europe, Canada, Asia.....

Who’s involved? Citizens Businesses Social enterprises Community groups Academia Local government

Current themes Food Energy Transport Resilient Livelihoods

And much conviviality!

And in future? Everything that supports our communities needs to be resilient to the coming shocks: Education Nutrition & health Water & sewerage Trade & economics Sport & leisure Law & order The arts Energy Transport Housing Emergency services Et cetera....

So how can we transition Ipswich towards increased resilience? SHOCKS Climate change Peak oil Resource depletion Economic crises Education Nutrition & health Water & sewerage Trade & economics Sport & leisure Law & order The arts Energy Transport Housing Emergency services VULNERABILITIES

Open Space Technology Whoever’s involved are the right people It starts when it starts What happens is all that could have happened When it’s over, it’s over The law of 2 feet: if you’re not learning or contributing, move on!

Taking transition forward Look at Visit Friends, neighbours & colleagues Local shops & businesses Local politicians Start projects Have fun & celebrate!
