The island of Hispaniola, the second largest island in the Caribbean, contains two separate countries; the Dominican Republic and Haiti.

Welcome to the Transition Haiti Social Network -- a spontaneous, grassroots, and continually evolving movement dedicated to:

Facilitating the international work of the Transition Network, based in the UK, found at www.TransitionTowns.org and www.TransitionNetwork.org

Peak oil, zero waste, financial security, localization, post carbon, local resilience -- announce your group, join in, make your voice heard.

More on Who We Are

Getting Started

TRANSITION HAITI is an informal networking site for those interested in exploring and/or implementing the Transition model in Hatian communities, and exploring what Haitian communities can teach the rest of the world. This site is being created through grassroots participation, and is continually evolving. It is a spontaneously arising effort to connect interested "transitioners" with each other and to encourage and support the development of local Transition Initiatives.

The Transition approach empowers communities to squarely face the challenges of peak oil and climate change, and to unleash the collective genius of their own people to find the answers to this momentous question:

For all those aspects of life that this community needs in order to sustain itself and thrive, how are we going to:

drastically reduce carbon emissions (in response to climate change);

significantly rebuild resilience (in response to peak oil);

and greatly strengthen our local economy (in response to economic instability)?

The Transition Movement emerged in the UK from of the work of Rob Hopkins (see his blog at www.TransitionCulture.org), and is spreading virally to many nations. See the current list of official Transition Initiatives here
