'The pathway to change' - according to Dr Fjalar de Haan

It’s not hard to see we need radical change in some areas of society.

If we want to do something meaningful about climate change and sustainability, many of the systems that meet our daily needs of energy, food, transport and even health care need to go through profound changes: Transitions.

We are already in the midst of a transition. The internet has changed the way services are being offered – think Uber and Airbnb. 3D printing and robotisation will likely accelerate this process.

People are moving from centralised, top-down service systems to organising things themselves in distributed, bottom-up ways. This pattern can be seen from energy provision to health care.
