A tipping point refers to a small change that makes a big difference in the way our society is organized, causing a major shift in our daily lives. Most often used to address environmental issues, tipping points should also be seen as having the potential for critical social changes that affect governance, solidarity, or sense of care. Leading to irreversible consequences, their outcome is theoretically positive or negative. However, the fundamental threats and challenges to nature are so high that the dominant view emphasizes our inability to perceive the disruptions driven by the Anthropocene.
