Local Futures

Local Futures works to renew social and ecological well-being worldwide by promoting a shift away from economic globalization and towards localization.

.

Going Local animationWe produce books, films, and educational resources, and organize conferences and workshops, to reach a global audience with this message of community renewal and resistance to corporate power.

Watch our new Animation on localization, and our award-winning documentary The Economics of Happiness – both translated into more than 25 languages. Or read our Booklet on localization, (also available in Chinese) written by Helena Norberg-Hodge .
