Transition in Action, Totnes 2030, an Energy Descent Action Plan

Health and Wellbeing Resilience Indicators

From the research that led to this Plan, we have identified a number of key indicators by which we can be sure that we are moving in the right direction. These include:

  • Depression trends / rates
  • Obesity rates in children & adults
  • Frequency of visits to the doctor
  • The proportion of babies exclusively breastfed for six months or more
  • Acres of land used to cultivate medicinal herbs
  • Average age of dying
  • Number of hours spent walking
  • Number of meals per capita eaten alone by over 65s

These can be returned to regularly to see if the community is making progress in the right direction.
