Donate now for a new step of the Social Tipping Point Coalition
We are in a climate and ecological crisis. Innovation comes too late. But we have another asset: Social Tipping Points.
A Social Tipping Point is the tipping point at which a society has suddenly changed completely. Norms, values, customs and laws are nothing like the situation before. Consider, for example, the abolition of slavery and the introduction of women's suffrage. Now we find it inconceivable that it was ever different.
For a fossil-free world, we need another such social tipping point. And fast.
The government can bring about the biggest change the fastest. That is why we call on the government to make laws. These are measures that put an end to the harmful situation and give free rein to sustainability. For example:
- a ban on fossil advertising
- mandatory climate education for young and old
- a stop to fossil subsidies and reinvesting money in sustainable options
- climate warnings on harmful products
- a ban on investing in the fossil fuel industry
These are measures that make sustainable choices self-evident by:
- change norms, values and behaviour
- increase knowledge
- make the sustainable choice cheaper and the harmful choice more expensive
- ensure more sustainable choices
No fewer than 500+ organizations signed our letter to the informer in 2021. And TNO advised the government on social tipping points. But so much more is possible and needed!
With your support, in 2024 and 2025 we want to:
- spread knowledge about social tipping points.
- convince the government to take social tipping measures.
- encourage frontrunners to do social tipping interventions in their own organization; For example, media, companies, municipalities, cultural institutions, educational institutions and leisure clubs.
The Social Tipping Point Coalition is a citizens’ movement and relies on donations. Your help makes our mission possible!
