Reforms that are resilient to all of our future scenarios

No regrets

Recommendations that maintain their impact under all five possible future scenarios.

In order to ensure reforms are robust against a rapidly changing and uncertain future, we have examined the 2021 Plan reforms to understand which are most robust to a changing and uncertain future (see Table 21). Our No regrets reforms perform strongly in all futures, including pursuing reforms to support transformational change in the energy sector, enhancements to social infrastructure and improvements to data and digital capability in the infrastructure sector, including particularly waste.
