This project explores Australia's emerging Climate Economy, investigating how climate change challenges conventional economic policy paradigms and redefines political economic concepts and practices.

By mapping and evaluating Australia's Climate Economy, we aim to provide new frameworks for understanding and democratising the economic policies that will define a climate-changed future.
