The Net Zero Economy Agency commissioned the Australian National University through an open tender process to produce a rapid research report to inform the early design of a national Net Zero Economy Authority. The paper addresses three topics as they relate to the net zero transition: economics, social change, and regional communities. The authors have drawn upon their collective expertise and experience and reviewed global research and case studies around similar transitions and transition-focused institutions.
The paper does not represent a Net Zero Economy Agency or Australian Government view and remains the work of the authors.
