Vol. 17 No. 3 (2021): Special Issue: Just Transitions

Policy Quarterly Volume 17 Issue 3 Cover

The idea of just transitions has greater purchase in public debate than ever before. But it is yet to be properly embedded into the thought and practice of government, business and civil society. This special issue offers concepts and tools to bridge the implementation gap for just transitions in Aotearoa New Zealand.

But the strains of the low emissions transition cut deeper and wider, exemplified by recent furores over transport infrastructure, land use and agriculture, and managed retreat.
