Rob Hopkins Biography

Rob Hopkins is a leading figure in the emerging movement of towns and cities that promote local cooperation and interdependence to reduce their ecological impact. In response to climate change, he pioneered the idea of Transition Initiatives - communities that generate their own goods and services, minimize transportation needs, and take other steps to prepare for a post-oil era. While sustainability and environmentalism share some principles with Transition, it is a more profound vision focusing on rethinking our future self-sufficiently and building resilience. Hopkins has put theory into practice as the co-founder and resident of the first Transition Initiative in the UK, located in Totnes, Devon. Refusing to fly, he supports hundreds of similar communities worldwide through his blog, transitionculture.org. Hopkins, trained in ecological design, wrote the seminal work on the "Transition Handbook: From Oil Dependency to Local Resilience," a 12-step guide for a post-carbon future. Notes and slides from his presentations are available on his website.
