I am interested in regional climate change action. A lot of focus to date has been on the individual, household, state national and international levels of climate change with little focus on the neighbourhood, local area or at a regional level. By focusing on a business owners, regional and local level it allows communities, government and industry to bring together the issues and actions they are taking on climate change.
Transition towns’ is a very good model as it is driven from the grass roots and is very good for local communities. A limit of the transition town model is it is not being supported to happen across the country or a region in a systematic manner. The practice or field experience of the transition town model is the development of experimentation with the principles of energy, water, food, transport, carbon life cycle etc. That is examining climate change at a hamlet, commune, village, neighbourhood, town or suburb level there is no real definition for what sustainability means and what measures exist to benchmark against climate change data.
Al alternative approach is examining climate change at a regional level that allows for cooperation between towns, institutions, the commercial sector and government on the issues of climate change. The regional level also has great access to data to be able to measure the impact of climate change on a geographic location.

I think it would be useful to add the related group module to this page. That way other groups that have some relationship to this area of focus might become aware of the group. frankpatton 2:16 pm
