A New Phase of
GTI
We are pleased to announce
the launch of our new website, www.greattransition.org. For more than a decade, the Great Transition Initiative has advanced a visionary scenario of a future rooted in human solidarity,
well-being for all, and ecological sustainability. Now, we enter a new phase of this work with renewed energy and, in this time of deepening peril, a
heightened sense of urgency.
Our reimagined website
serves as a platform for examining global conditions and prospects, and for exploring bold visions and change strategies. It
features:
- An open-access journal of ideas publishing
new essays, book reviews, and interviews.
- A
MacroScope highlighting current developments that carry long-term global significance.
- Educational material such as videos, an overview of critical ideas, and archival literature.
- A GT
Network Space for those wishing to be more engaged.
We
hope you will find GTI to be a unique and valuable resource for understanding our present moment and shaping our collective future.
Looking
forward,
Paul Raskin
GTI Director
