Description

Regional decarbonisation transitions: an inclusive place-based approach. The program aims to investigate how decarbonisation impacts Australian regions, and develop a novel place-based approach to empower communities and industries during a transformation that poses a significant risk of leaving many energy-intensive regions behind. New evidence of decarbonisation’s global patterns and local impacts will be uncovered, along with on-the-ground skills, initiatives, First Nations enterprise and employment opportunities and lived experience of structural change. Expected outcomes include new methods, an evidence base to better govern transitions, and more inclusive approaches to sustainable regional development. The program will underpin national unity and fairness as Australia meets its emissions reduction targets.. Scheme: Australian Laureate Fellowships. Field: 4406 - Human Geography.
