Vantage Point is the new essay series from Australia Institute Press. Long enough for an in-depth exploration of some of the most stubborn problems of the day, these essays are also short enough to read in a sitting or two.
Genuine solidarity means more than symbolic gestures on the global stage. It means concrete action: ending the approval of new fossil fuel projects and supporting governments seeking to negotiate a Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty.
This essay imagines a future where Australia stands as a courageous ally using its resources and power to build a better future rather than staying as a climate pariah, and where the Pacific becomes the lighthouse guiding the way.
Drawing on decades of activism — from anti-apartheid struggles in South Africa to standing alongside climate defenders across the Pacific — Naidoo explores the injustices that define this crisis. With stories from Australian flood survivors, Indigenous leaders protecting sacred lands, and Pacific Islanders fighting for the survival of their homes, Naidoo describes a grim reality: the water that once sustained us is now loudly sounding the alarm.
