Transition Penwith is an initiative that works to engage all sectors of the community in addressing two of the greatest challenges of our time: climate change and fossil fuel depletion.


Welcome to the Transition Penwith Website

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 and community sector.

Transition Penwith seeks to facilitate creative and pro-active responses, with the ultimate aim to strategise and implement an Energy Descent Action Plan for a vibrant, low energy, low carbon Penwith.
