Epidemics,
Recent floods and fires
exposed fragility of
grids and logistics
communications
industrial hubs and
dependence on imports.

People most affected
live on logistics' fringe,
Agriculture
forestry
fishing and
mining,
Population depends on
these communities’
sustainable continuation.

Moving off fossil fuels,
Large scale solar farms,

Exposed to damaging
