Israeli police officers have sealed off the family home of a Palestinian who killed seven people outside a synagogue in East Jerusalem. It comes after Israel’s Security Cabinet approved new measures in response to a wave of violence in recent days. These include making it easier for Israelis to get gun licenses and stepping up efforts to collect illegal weapons. On Thursday, 9 Palestinians were killed in an Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank.
Welcome to Transition Studies. To prosper for very much longer on the changing Earth humankind will need to move beyond its current fossil-fueled civilization toward one that is sustained on recycled materials and renewable energy. This is not a trivial shift. It will require a major transition in all aspects of our lives.
This weblog explores the transition to a sustainable future on our finite planet. It provides links to current news, key documents from government sources and non-governmental organizations, as well as video documentaries about climate change, environmental ethics and environmental justice concerns.
