Policy Analysis for Climate Resilience: A Strategic Guide to Designing and Implementing Effective Frameworks
This guide explores how policy analysis can be systematically designed and applied to enhance climate resilience. Drawing on insights from the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics, it examines the economic logic behind resilience planning, the dual-track nature of fast versus slow policy analysis, and the often-overlooked supply chain vulnerabilities that climate policies expose. The article provides a step-by-step framework for building robust policy models, integrating stakeholder input, and navigating uncertainty. It also discusses how sustainability policy analysis can bridge short-term political cycles with long-term adaptation needs, offering evidence-based recommendations for policymakers, analysts, and sustainability practitioners.
