There are many strong voices and organisations that have taken part in World Localization Day over the past five years. Our global partners are spread out over 49 countries, all raising awareness about the need to localize our economies and build strong and healthy local communities. Find more inspiration here.

The localization movement is growing stronger. Across the world, people are speaking out against the global economy that is playing havoc with our lives and destroying our shared planet.

Simultaneously, millions of us are engaged in rebuilding healthy local economies, communities and food systems. Listen to strong voices from the movement and meet some of the many organizations that have taken part, amplifying the solutions and bringing the economy home

A myriad of initiatives make up the localization ‘movement of movements’, from community gardens, eco-villages, transition towns, seed libraries, farmers markets, decentralized renewable energy projects, repair cafés, local business alliances, the revival of local knowledge systems and more.
