In January, Franziska was invited to present her work on the role of perceived agency in positive tipping points at the “Symposium on Positive Tipping Points and Climate Leadership” in Copenhagen, organized by the University of Copenhagen and the NGO “Democracy X”.

As part of their visit, Franziska and her colleague Steve Smith from the University of Exeter were invited by Stefan Gaarsmand Jacobsen of the University of Copenhagen to talk about their research on positive social tipping points on the “Eco Thoughts” Podcast. Franziska explains why perceived agency is a key driver of social change and emphasizes the importance of linking top-down and bottom-up approaches to accelerate positive social tipping processes.
