The contribution that the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze might offer to researchers studying social innovation in response to climate change is explored. Since the publication of the Stern report, it has been recognised that climate change requires major changes in the way our economy is organised, but it also requires significant social and behavioural change. Can this be usefully viewed through the prism of theories of social innovation? How might such social innovation affect the life chances of the socially excluded, and to what extent does it, therefore, offer a space for radical social change? Transition Towns - a community movement in response to climate change - is used as a test-case of these ideas.
