- Current Funding
-
Current and recent Research Funding to JCU is shown by funding source and project.
Department of the Environment and Energy - National Environmental Science Programme (NESP) - Northern Australia Environmental Resources Hub
Synthesis Project - Kakadu Cultural Connections
- Indicative Funding
- $90,000 over 1 year
- Summary
- The national land account project, within the Department of Environment and Energy is developing an Experimental Ecosystem Accounting (EEA) system, strongly guided by the UN System of Environmental Economic Accounts (SEEA). This project will explore options and make recommendations for acknowledging and possibly including Indigenous cultural connections within that ecosystem accounting framework. It may be possible to generate some monetary estimates of value, but the explorations may instead conclude that Indigenous cultural connections should be considered alongside, rather than as a subset, of other ecosystem services (much as the government compiles tourism satellite accounts that are published alongside the national accounts).

Multiple benefits and knowledge systems of Indigenous Land Management Programs (ILMPs) - Economic perspective
- Indicative Funding
- $490,800 over 4 years (administered by CDU)
- Summary
- In addition to creating environmental benefits Indigenous land management programs (ILMPs) generate significant social and economic benefits (henceforth co-benefits). But few of those co-benefits have been quantified or compared across ILMPs. Consequently, under or over investments in some ILMPs could arise. When making investment decisions, governments and others require multiple lines of evidence to help them determine if their investments represent `value for money?. This project will thus provide quantified, comparable data about the co-benefits of various ILMPs ? information that will help ensure more and/or better targeted investments in ILMPs.
