Abstract

National net-zero policies have varied regional impacts on patterns of investment and employment. Here, we introduce a Net-Zero Resilience Index for UK regions drawing on theories and methods from complexity economics comprising measures of economic Complexity, Relatedness, and Reliance and population for all Local Authority Districts (LADs) in England, Scotland and Wales. Our results highlight 30 LADs at greatest risk of negative economic consequences from climate policies (broadly labelled as net-zero in UK policy). These are disproportionately in regions that suffered most from previous rounds of deindustrialisation. The anticipated geography of net-zero policy impacts highlights the need for proactive policies that span local authority boundaries, with devolved Mayoral Combined Authorities presented as an opportunity to do so.
