relocalize.net Local Communities Global Connections is a group of websites that provide resources to help communities to think about local issues. From the about page on their website:

The Relocalization Network was created in 2003 as one of the first initiatives of Post Carbon Institute. It developed as a response to individuals’ questions about how they could take action to address the implications of peak oil. We found that the most effective strategies are initiated at the community level. For this reason, Post Carbon Institute decided that establishing a network of Local Post Carbon Groups was the best way to provide concerned individuals with the support and resources necessary to coordinate effective action.

The Network Team supports Local Post Carbon Groups by providing on-line communication tools, developing valuable resources, facilitating connections between Local Groups, and cultivating a sense of working together globally on local responses. By providing the web-based communication tools that will help Local Groups pool resources, share project ideas and templates and collaborate on initiatives, the Relocalization Network will facilitate valuable connections between groups.

The Relocalization Network is now composed of nearly 150 Local Post Carbon Groups from all over the world that are working to prepare their communities for an energy constrained future. These groups operate autonomously, while receiving guidance, educational resources, project and technical support and electronic infrastructure from Post Carbon Institute.

Some groups have started out with us, while other groups that were previously established have joined the Network to benefit from sharing experiences and collaborating with other Local Post Carbon Groups. The activities and projects of the different Local Groups vary, depending on their interests, resources and the needs of the communities they are working in.
