Next Ealing Transition Event on 9 March 2025

Join us at ActOne cinema on Sunday, 9 March 2025 at 12pm to watch the double bill screening of #ClimateScam? and Plan Z, two documentaries focussing on the way communities are responding to the climate crisis. There is a Question and Answer session after the films.

#ClimateScam? is a movie produced by Cornwall Climate care and asks why so many people still believe that the climate crisis is nothing more than a hoax. Jaz, a Gen Z hairdresser and Tik-tok follower, visits climate scientists and sceptics and considers how misinformation and conspiracy theories are affecting our ability to tackle the biggest challenge we face.

PlanZ follows the motivations of British researchers who have turned to civil disobedience to warn the public of the risk of climate change, and explores the moral power of protest when established routes of influence fail.

We look forward to seeing you there. Tickets and more information about the films are available at ActOne cinema, here. You can view the trailer for #ClimateScam? here and the trailer for PlanZ here.

Ealing Transition in 2025

In 2025, Ealing Transition will be focussing on activities that further build resilience to the climate and ecological emergencies. Since we began in 2009, and in line with the Transition Town movement, our initiatives have encouraged people to reskill, rewild, and reuse resources that exist locally. These initiatives, such as Solar Schools, Bee Keeping, our Community Garden and Community Orchard, Ealing Transition’s Village Park Allotments, and the Ealing Repair Cafe, play a role both in mitigating climate change (decreasing dependence on fossil fuels), and also in adaptation (strengthening our reserves in anticipation of challenges ahead).  

Recent reports confirm that we are not succeeding in containing global temperature within the UN’s safe limit of 1.5 degrees, and that we must now be prepared for drastic change – whether we like it or not. The good news is that much of the adaptation that is required can be rewarding, reconnecting us to the things that matter most, like nature, community and self-sufficiency.  That is certainly our experience and over the coming months, we will be bringing you more news about our initiatives, how they started, what we learned, and what we are hoping to do next. 

In the meantime, we are finding inspiration in the book Transformative Adaptation by Rupert Read, Morgan Phillips and Manda Scott, and the ongoing activities of the Transition Towns movement.
