Tipping Point North South is a co-operative that supports and initiates creative, campaign-driven projects that advance the global social justice agenda. https://tippingpointnorthsouth.org/
Instead, talk about:
1. Climate action is critical to human safety.
2. If the money exists for the military, it should exist for climate safety.
3.Energy independence is safety and is good for job creation
4. We should invest in projects that prevent conflict.
So, campaigners, DON'T:
1. Conceding to governments prioritising military spending over climate action.
2. Implying, even unintentionally, that climate impacts can be addressed through military action.
3. Narrowing the scope of climate ambition.

Framing climat change as a "security threat" may seem strategic, but it risks justifying militarised responses over meaningful climate solutions.
📉 As global budgets prioritise military expansion, essential health, education, and climate action investments are sacrificed.
This isn’t security.
📢Reframe the narrative. Advocate for peace and justice as the foundation for a stable and equitable future. #Safety4All
We are living in a dangerous moment. We see the US and EU cutting aid and social spending with one hand and increasing military spending with the other. But a more violent world does not make anyone safer.
📉 Diverting funds from health, education, and social infrastructure to military spending undermines long-term stability.
💼 We must advocate for investments that uphold dignity and justice.
Real climate security is essential for a resilient, equitable future. #Safety4All
The global arms race and its implications for climate action
Military spending positively correlates to GHG emissions- the more you spend on fossil fuel-reliant hardware, the greater the emissions.
📢Reframe the narrative. Military spending accelerates the climate crisis. Call time on the military-fossil fuel relationship #Safety4All
European leaders say we’re in an emergency - but it’s not the climate crisis they are scrambling to fight.
The global arms race will kill climate action.
Here’s how climate organisations can fight back 👇

How should climate activists talk about military spending?
Those in power say more money on war keeps us safe.
🔥 But the truth? It steals our rights, wrecks our planet, and abandons the vulnerable.
Reframe the narrative. Demand peace, justice, and real security for all. #Safety4All
