Weller, Sally Anne (2012) The Regional Dimensions of the 'Transition to a Low Carbon Economy': The Case of Australia's Latrobe Valley. Regional Studies, 46 (9). pp. 1261-1272. ISSN 0034-3404 (print) 1360-0591 (online)
Abstract
Translating concern about climate change into practical, effective and politically feasible policy action is a key challenge for contemporary governments. In Australia, the government's failure to launch ‘the transition to a low-carbon economy’ is reshaping the political landscape. This article argues that progress has stalled because politicians emboldened by the moral challenge of climate action, but schooled in market-based policy solutions, have not acknowledged or made provision for the regional impacts of the economic transformation they propose.
