Sustainable development at the local government level
Doctoral Researcher Emily Clarke, affiliated with the Monash Sustainable Development Institute (MSDI), is conducting research on political leadership for sustainable development at the local government level. Her work aims to understand the factors that enable or hinder local government progress towards sustainable development, with a focus on the gap between policy and action influenced by politics and democracy.
Emily's research is particularly significant as it seeks to accelerate progress towards sustainable development goals, such as those outlined in her council's Climate Emergency Plan.
