Submission to the Garnaut Climate Change Review about the implications of skills and sustainability. This submission is the first stage of a larger project with the aim to uncover the possible employment outcomes of a number of carbon emission reduction scenarios, the preparedness of Australia’s human capital stock to respond to the challenge of climate change and the adequacy of existing skills and innovation policy settings.
Dusseldorp Forum has committed to tackling system reform as part of Stronger Places, Stronger People – a five-year commitment by community, federal, and state governments and philanthropy to work together.
Philanthropy has the potential to provide long-term capital that can drive innovation in government policy. In 2010, philanthropist Julius Colman entered into a memorandum of understanding with the Victorian Government.
COVID-19 has further exposed how policy and power structures hold problems in place. It has also provided a unique, timely opportunity to address the structural reform required to strengthen our communities.
