The Tipping Point team is a tight knit, hard working group with a track record of delivering quality projects in short time-frames, including helping to spearhead the Australian fossil fuel divestment movement, supporting the growth of the #StopAdani campaign, organising mass climate mobilisations and pushing major banks to say no to fossil fuels.
Our Vision
Our vision is for strong and resilient communities empowered to create a fairer, more just world by dismantling the oppressive systems that fuel climate change. We are working towards a future where Australia is a world leader in responding to the climate crisis. Fossil fuels lie dormant underground, replaced by clean energy. And the influence of the fossil fuel industry has been buried, too. Our politics reflect the hopes and dreams of people, not corporations. Social movements work together, led by First Nations people, tackling injustices, holding institutions to account, and forcing them to protect people and the planet.
What We Do
Our mission is to seed, scale, and support grassroots movements to remove pillars of support for the coal and gas industries in order to bring about the end of mining and burning of coal and gas in Australia. Now in our fourth year, we support two amazing networks – the #StopAdani movement that is working to stop the mine once and for all as a key step towards moving Australia beyond coal, and the School Strike for Climate movement, who are demanding politicians take their future seriously & treat climate change as what it is: a crisis.
How We Work:
Justice Centred: We work to tackle the systems underpinning the climate crisis and act in solidarity with those who are most impacted by the climate crisis.
People Powered: We believe that communities of people taking action together is our best chance at tackling the climate crisis.
Disruptive; We believe that lasting change requires movements that disrupt the status quo, build mass public support and force decision-makers to act.
Prioritise Networks: We believe that the most transformational change occurs when movements act with focus on clear, compelling goals, whilst remaining open to grassroots power, autonomy and creativity.
Momentum Driven: We support movements to seize and create major moments of momentum that drive people and decision-makers to act.
Activating the Alarmed: We see it as our responsibility to provide the almost five million Australians who are alarmed about the climate crisis with a place to channel their alarm into strategic and sustained action.
Leaderful: We believe in our responsibility to help people unlock their innate leadership potential so that we can build the capacity of movements to achieve more than we ever imagined.
