The TrAd approach recognises there is urgent need for us all to adapt to the certainty of a rapidly-changing planet, in a way that is transformative of our existing failed institutions, of ourselves and of our communities. Global governments, corporations and systems are all failing to respond sufficiently to the threats of climate breakdown and ecological destruction. It is up to us all to take the initiative, and vitally important that we interconnect existing efforts with new projects and creative ideas. Transformative Adaptation is what is happening right now all around us, as people begin to make the changes we desperately need.
