The Partnership For Australia-Indonesia Research(PAIR)

The Partnership for Australia-Indonesia Research (PAIR) is a development initiative that focuses on the theme: ‘Connectivity, People and Place’. We seek to better understand the challenges and opportunities presented by Indonesia’s rapid physical and economic development. Over 2019-2022, we focus on a segment of Indonesia’s ambitious Trans-Sulawesi railway network infrastructure. By 2024, the Government of Indonesia plans to complete a new 145-kilometre railway line connecting two major port cities: Makassar and Parepare. The railway line is part of the government’s priority focus on Eastern Indonesia and positioning South Sulawesi as a gateway to the region. Along with the railway line, a new port is being built, new industrial zones emerging and fresh investments flowing.
The Partnership For Australia - Indonesia Research (PAIR) focuses on the new connectivity and communities along the railway line. We investigate what the railway lines mean for local communities, how they respond to change, and how they can take advantage of emerging opportunities.

UN Climate Change

UNFCCC stands for United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. The Convention has near universal membership (198 Parties) and is the parent treaty of the 2015 Paris Agreement. The main aim of the Paris Agreement is to keep the global average temperature rise this century as close as possible to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The UNFCCC is also the parent treaty of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol.
