Abstract

This chapter explores changes in socio-behavioural systems that provide important enabling factors and feedbacks for the positive tipping points described across Section 4. In addition, socio-behavioural systems can themselves be tipped, usually driven by complex contagion processes along extended social networks. Changes in social norms are often key drivers for social-behavioural systems, as they define acceptable behaviour, both in consumption domain and in the civic and political domains. Social movements are the main actors, seeding complex contagion of new social norms. However, social movements rely on allies and sympathisers for complex contagion to spread across social networks. Policymakers can also help to establish new social norms through policies that favour behaviours prescribed by new social norms. The chapter also describes the role that education can play in empowering actors to become agents of change.
