Transition Salt Spring Society is the only organization on Salt Spring devoted exclusively to addressing the climate crisis. Our focus is on mobilizing islanders and the organizations that serve them to lower emissions and help prepare for the increasing climate change risks faced by our community and our ecosystems. To get there, we all need to paddle together. The climate crisis requires us to collaborate in new ways from the individual to the organisational level.
We work on climate action on Salt Spring Island through leading various projects, hosting educational events, supporting networking and collaboration, supporting our working groups, and advocating for a more resilient island. We work with local businesses, government, nonprofits, First Nations and you to bring climate action to the forefront of everyday decision-making. Transition Salt Spring's initiatives are driven by the Salt Spring Island Climate Action Plan and its 250 recommendations for change.
At Transition, we think the environment, economy and community can work together to benefit everyone. Think clean green jobs in regenerative forestry and ecosystem stewardship that help our lands remain healthy in the face of drought, rising temperatures and degraded ecosystems. Think sustainably built housing with low ecological footprints for a diverse population of various incomes. Imagine an island economy utterly dependent on and supporting ecosystems that feed our souls, bodies, and families. From public outreach and education to model policy development and ecological restoration: Transition is about working together.
Salt Spring Island is located on the traditional unceded territories of several First Nations. We recognise that reconciliation with First Nations is a crucial path we need to follow to achieve climate justice for all. Traditional knowledge is essential to help us come together and build the resilience we need to thrive as our climate becomes warmer and unpredictable.
