This feels like it could potentially be a useful framework for thinking about system change for other types of things besides climate change

🌍 Feeling paralyzed about climate action?
We just published an article in @theconversation.com that talks about how to find your biggest potential climate impact - which may well be greater than you think. 💪
Our framework walks you through the process step-by-step:

3/ Systems are enacted and reproduced through behavior, while also shaping the possibilities for action.
Rather than treating individual and system change as opposing pathways, we focus on how people can exercise agency through the social roles they occupy.
🔥 Individual or system change?🔥
This debate has been at the center of much of my social media engagement for years (causing a fair bit of frustration). Yet I have never published research directly addressing it. Until now. 🧵

The paper is excellent, thank you for providing access to it.
"...treating these as mutually exclusive is conceptually and strategically flawed. Individuals act within systems, and systems are shaped and sustained by individual and collective behaviour."
Exactly.

1/ The sustainability transition doesn’t just advance from the top down and the bottom up – change also happens in the middle, and that’s where most of us can make a real difference
Quick thread on a great new paper showing how *everyone* has an influential role to play

“Rather than treating individual and system change as opposing pathways, we focus on how people can exercise agency through the social roles they occupy.” 👏
It was always a false binary. Always glad to see it recognized as such.
This sounds like an interesting and important article about agency for climate change mitigation, which I look forward to reading.

🚨Fed up with the "individual vs. system change" debate?🚨
We've got you covered. 🙌 In our new paper in Nature Climate Change, we endeavour to move beyond that binary by introducing the agency frame (a-frame), a practical lens for identifying and intervening on high-impact climate behaviours. (1/n)
