The current climate, energy and societal crises have shown that we need new tools for designing measures and strategies for achieving a more sustainable future. At the core of addressing the challenges is the energy transition. Scholars have found that the transition towards a low-carbon energy regime requires not only the development of new energy technologies but also deep-structural changes in society: these concern radical, systemic shifts in values and beliefs, in patterns of social behavior, and in governance regimes. Recently the term of Social Tipping Points (STPs) has been coined as being crucial to design policies that push societies towards sustainable transition pathways and support urgent climate action. STPs are defined as “non-linear processes of transformative change in social systems”. After surpassing a certain threshold, both the structure and the dynamics of the system change, and strongly reinforcing feedbacks emerge which can amplify a small change, leading to a new state of limited reversibility. This contribution will provide systemic understanding of transition pathways and invite on the reflection of STPs.
