Rising Tide Australia is the Australian contingent of the international Rising Tide network along with Rising Tide North America and Rising Tide UK, a grassroots climate movement created in 2000 to carry out direct action against the root causes of climate change, and to work towards a fossil fuel free future.[1]
Key values and goals edit
The stated goals of Rising Tide Australia are immediately stop new fossil fuel projects, a 75% tax on fossil fuel export profits to pay for the impacts of climate change and to fund community and industrial transition, as well as to end all coal exports from Newcastle by 2030, the world's largest coal port.[2] [3]
Actions edit
In November 2023, Rising Tide organized an event to blockade Newcastle coal port for 30 hours, called 'The People's Blockade of the World's Largest Coal Port 2023'.[4] This event involved an estimated 3000 people using kayaks and other vessels to physically occupy Newcastle Harbour[5], and notable political figures including leader of the Australian Greens party Adam Bandt attended the event.
