"Shifting Australia’s electricity sector to low-carbon technologies and closing
coal plants is vital to tackling climate change. But such transitions are
easier said than done.
People and economies are often deeply connected to the coal industry. Coal
plants have often been integral to a community for decades, and closing them is
a complex social process.
So how do we minimise the social and economic effects of such closures, and
ensure communities and regions continue to thrive?
To answer this question, we looked to another sector that’s recently undergone
large-scale shutdowns: Australia’s car-making industry. Our research highlights
four lessons to help plan the end of the coal-fired power sector."
