Salton Sea Initiative Track One: Measuring and Developing Inclusive, Equitable and Sustainable Economies

In the face of increasing development opportunities in the Salton Sea region, this report analyzes the opportunities and challenges for ensuring that any future local development projects foster an inclusive, sustainable, and equitable economy. Drawing on an array of inclusive economy and sustainable development literatures and case studies, and in particular a solidarity economics framework, this report provides useful tools for defining, tracking, and building inclusive economies in the Salton Sea context. Reviewing the challenges and opportunities for development in the Salton Sea Region, this report asks two questions. First, “what makes economies inclusive”? Second, “what multi stakeholder strategies might lead to more inclusive economies?” The first section of this report reviews the Solidarity Economics Framework and how it applies to the context of the Salton Sea region. The second and third sections analyze indicators for tracking, and strategies for building inclusive economies, respectively. This report builds on, and provide more in-depth analysis, to a policy brief released in October 2021 (Edenhofer et al., 2021)
