ME:: A 'Marginal Tipping Map' is needed to tell us to do the difficult but obvious :-) ie: 100% renewable energy, 100% non fossil burning transportation and industry, etc :-) ; Unpolitics: From Knowing to Doing

What’s missing is a global framework for identifying where these efforts will make the biggest difference right now. We call this the Marginal Tipping Map.
The Marginal Tipping Map is not yet a finished tool—it is a proposed framework, a way of thinking that enables more effective action. It is designed to help funders, governments, and institutions see where catalytic investments, policy shifts, and social momentum can unlock exponential change.
This isn’t just about data—it’s about shifting strategy: from allocating cost to identifying leverage. From asking who should act, to revealing where action will move the most.
And it’s not hypothetical. We’ve seen it before:
- Solar costs fell 89% in a decade due to scale and learning.
- Norway’s EV adoption crossed 80% with clear public signals.
- The U.S. Inflation Reduction Act triggered hundreds of billions in private investment.
- Vietnam and Germany launched solar booms with targeted policy shifts.
These tipping points didn’t happen by accident. They were enabled. The question is how to identify and trigger the next ones—globally
