About Tipping Point

Tipping Point has just launched in the UK. 

We bring people from all walks of life and grassroots groups together to understand and use their power to grow the climate movement’s scale, diversity and power. Together we’re building unstoppable momentum for an end to fossil fuels and for systemic changes in our society and economy.

Creative, sustained and escalating actions are the lifeblood of any movement – they’re how we translate our organising efforts into real power and influence over decision-makers and how we educate, inspire and recruit new members to grow our movement’s power.

We believe in the transformative power of action that deepens participants’ engagement, political knowledge, leadership skills and commitment long-term, enabling people to see small or local wins building towards a bigger shared network or movement goal.

We train and support grassroots groups to build their community leadership, digital skills, open structures and welcoming culture to inspire and absorb large new bases of supporters in ‘moments of the whirlwind’.
