Lismore Floods, Policy Failure, and Climate Change: The need for political ecology in policy learning.
In 2022 Australians watched the people of Lismore battle floods more devastating than those previously experienced. By applying the lens of political ecology, policy failures, not only the impact of climate change, are found to be causal factors in the devasting effects of the floods. This article a...

By applying the lens of political ecology, policy failures, not only the impact of climate change, are found to be causal factors in the devasting effects of the floods. This article argues that including political ecology as a tool for analysis during the evaluation stage of the policy cycle would result in more equitable outcomes. The article uses several case studies to support its analysis of the Lismore floods and the policy failures identified. The author calls on policymakers to include political ecology in the evaluation process of the policy cycle, and highlights the importance of the understanding of, and accountability for, policy failures resulting in policy learning necessary to prevent further repetition of problems experienced due to the intensifying effects of the Anthropocene. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
