The document discusses the Transition movement, which aims to help communities transition away from oil dependency and towards local resilience in response to climate change, peak oil, and economic instability. It outlines the principles and process of Transition, including assessing local needs, developing projects, and creating an Energy Descent Action Plan to engage communities in reducing emissions and building resilience through local production of food, energy, goods and currency. The goal is to design pathways for descent that improve social and environmental conditions.
