𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Social transformation is an intentional process of systemic change to address not only the symptoms but the root causes of inequity, injustice and unsustainability. A project that has a transformative social impact is one that brings about change at the level of a whole system - impacting social norms and beliefs, resource consumption patterns, rules and practices, technologies and infrastructures, and/or the distribution of power.
