Abstract
\n<\/strong>Staying within a maximum global warming of 1.5 degrees requires an acceleration of the transition to a low-carbon society. Current theory views such sustainability transitions as inevitably slow, as they require interdependent changes throughout socio-technical systems. The observation that energy transition scenarios systematically underestimate the diffusion of key technologies challenges this view.<\/p>\n

Existing models that form the basis for energy transition scenarios do not include the positive feedbacks resulting from the interactions between civil society and energy transitions. Yet these interactions have been identified as important drivers and barriers of energy transitions and<\/em> as crucial in triggering the social tipping dynamics<\/em> that can accelerate the energy transition. Social tipping dynamics in energy transitions occur when a small change or intervention has a large effect on emission reductions. In the lecture, I will discuss the potential of social tipping to accelerate the energy transition.<\/p>\n
