How does government respond to crises?
Australia has recently experienced the bushfire crisis, is currently addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, and faces even larger and longer-term challenges including climate change.
Governing During Crises showcases our work on governance and regulation in response to the broad range of crises affecting Australia, through targeted activities and by connecting relevant activities under our existing themes (Regulation and Design, led by Director John Howe, and Renewing Democracy, led by Deputy Director Tom Gerald Daly).
