Description
This discussion paper, from the Centre for Policy Development’s sustainable economy program, follows previous reports on climate transition risks and challenges for local economies, and forms part of a larger future report examining climate transition responses in regional economies in Australia.
The paper describes seven dimensions of economic resilience and proposes metrics to gauge each of these. Dimensions include:
- Economic diversity
- Innovation
- Geographic connectedness
- Financial capital
- Workforce skills
- Social capital
- Access to public services
It also provides a guide for applying the framework to decision-making processes in transition planning, and possibilities for its extension.
