ISA in the Media
ISA research has been in the media for more than 20 years:
- 28-29 August 2019, Jakarta, Launch of the Australia-Indonesia Virtual Lab, or “IndoLab”, a multi-disciplinary collaborative research platform modelled on the Australian Industrial Ecology Lab. The IndoLab Launch attracted many high-profile keynote speakers, such as Dr. Sri Mulyani Indrawati – Minister of Finance of Indonesia, Prof. Armida Salsiah Alisjahbana – Executive Secretary of UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pasific (UN-ESCAP), Khanh Hoang – Director of National Accounts Benchmarks Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), Setianto – Director of Production Balance Statistics Indonesia (BPS), Janet Salem – Director of Resource Efficiency and Sustainable Consumption and Production, UNEP Asia & the Pacific, and Prof. Arnold Tukker – Professor of Industrial Ecology, Leiden University, Netherlands (see photos and videos). The IndoLab has received grant funding from the Australia-Indonesia-Institute of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
- 11 December 2018, ISA’s study on the carbon footprint of global tourism published in Nature Climate Change is ranked 56th in Altmetric’s most-mentioned 100 articles for 2018.

The article states that “What the climate negotiators of the 1990s did not know at the time was that a parallel and simultaneous set of global trade agreements would create a glaring loophole in their efforts to contain the carbon dioxide emissions that contribute to climate change”. In many cases, countries that have claimed net reductions in carbon emissions see those reductions fully – or mostly – wiped out once the carbon loophole is taken into account. About 25 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions passed through this glaring “carbon loophole”, one of the most critical and under-discussed problems in international climate policy circles.

- 16 September 2013, A petition aimed at phasing out all purse seine fishing within the Cook Islands’ Exclusive Economic Zone has been handed to Prime Minister Henry Puna by environmentalists and local residents of Mauke island, Andrew and June Hosking. Andrew and June participated in ISA’s Sustainable Islands Project. The petition was signed by almost 100% of Mauke’s voting population. “This matter must go beyond politics and must be tackled globally. The Cook Islands, as small as we are, are huge in ocean area, we have a voice internationally and mustn’t be shy to use it. The Pacific holds around 12% of the world’s population but 50% of its fish stocks. The big nations can no longer provide for their own populations, so now look to us for their fish supply. We have a massive bargaining chip here, bigger than oil. We have a responsibility to ensure there are fish remaining not just for the Pacific, but for the world.” said Andrew Hosking in response to the overwhelming success of Mauke’s petition. Future plans are about extending the petition outside Mauke and the Cook Islands. See reports at Radio New Zealand and Cook Island News.

The publication has been picked up by the BBC News, in The Conversation, in Green Career, and on Phys.org.
