Municipalities in Transition

Red de Transición

Municipalities in transition (MiT): An innovative project, stemming from the international Transition movement, to create a clear framework for how Transition groups and municipalities can create sustainable change together. The MIT framework is now being tested in 6 municipalities in 5 countries, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Hungary and Brazil. MiT is also developing a vibrant international community of practice that aims to support more municipalities, communities and decision-makers to engage with Transition-inspired approaches for sustainable change grounded in local needs. 

Red de Transición (RedT): Spanish Transition hub. Organisation that catalizes socioecological transition processes. Supporting local initiatives and connecting them with each other, with the International Transition movement and with other social movements and institutions (public and private).
