Embedding net zero carbon emissions in Northern Australia

This project plans to generate new knowledge on how local social factors shape the embedding of the net zero paradigm in place through industrial infrastructures, including insights into how climate change policy agendas are normatively evaluated at a local scale.

Led by Associate Professor Timothy Neale from the Deakin Institute for Citizenship and Globalisation, the project aims to explore how people in Northern Australia view the local, national and global value of large net zero carbon emissions projects.

This project looks to provide significant benefits by highlighting potential challenges and opportunities to government, industry and others and allowing for improved success and planning capacity, as well as reducing negative effects in future net zero implementation.
