fluxus - rethinking energy & climate in tasmania

The new Energy & Climate Campaign fluxus will turn-around Tasmania's tumultuous energy policy landscape.

fluxus invites local communities and interest groups to advocate with us for a bold, strategic redirection of decision-making based on alternative methodologies of engagement, doing economics and roll-out energy infrastructure.

fluxus position statement

fluxus will shake up the state’s stagnant energy policy landscape. 

Without adequate community engagement, opposition to lutruwita Tasmania’s renewable energy transition will grow. 

fluxus campaign works with local communities and interest groups to advocate for a bold, strategic redirection of decision-making based on alternative methodologies of engagement, co-design and rolling-out energy infrastructure. 

fluxus campaign will hold the space for citizens and all sectors to reimagine and experiment with renewable and regenerative energy projects for lutruwita Tasmania’s energy future. Together we can co-create an energy future that puts our communities, environment and local economies at the forefront.

fluxus will be taking the community on a participatory journey to explore what new energy can be in our lives. It is evident that renewable energy sources and their infrastructures will carry costs and trade-offs, and that it's important to support new political ecologies such as circular economics and foundational economics for a fair renewable energy transition. Our vision is to experiment and explore community action and policy changes around the 7 elements of: 


  1. Community benefit scheme and local investment models

  2. Electrifying transport planning

  3. Improving housing quality

  4. Rejuvenating agricultural land and farm systems

  5. Preserving biodiversity agreements

  6. Cultivating community trust & social license 

  7. New economic thinking and decision making

For questions please contact fluxus energy and climate campaigner Dr Emily Samuels-Ballantyne

The challenges we face:

We understand that the biodiversity, cost of living and climate crises are inextricably linked. The government's focus on large-scale roll-out of major infrastructure is missing an opportunity the energy transition offers, which is to diversify policy and business models that enable ecological, social and local economic innovation. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

 

We have an opportunity:

fluxus will maximise the opportunities of the energy transition by presenting evidence-based technical and business cases for energy and climate solutions that benefit people, places and planet.

  • We are collaborating for impact with interest groups and communities. 
  • We are presenting accessible evidence-based storytelling and scenarios for alternative models.
  • We are engaging and co-designing with communities around Tasmania to actualise these alternative models. 

 

 

 

"Economic localisation is the key to sustaining biological and cultural diversity - to sustaining life itself. The sooner we shift towards the local, the sooner we will begin healing our planet, our communities and ourselves."

Let's Experiment

fluxus campaign has a goal to hold the space for this important moment in time for citizens and all sectors to reimagine and experiment with alternative energy projects for Tasmania’s energy future. Together we can co-create an energy future that puts our communities, environment and local economies at the forefront. fluxus will be taking the community on a participatory journey to explore what new energy can be in our lives.
