    Cultural and Socioeconomic Determinants of Energy

    Natural Resources Forum 38 (2014) 27–46 DOI: 10.1111/1477-8947.12030 Cultural and socio-economic determinants of energy consumption on small remote islands Manfred Lenzen, Murukesan Krishnapillai, Deveraux Talagi, Jodie Quintal, Denise Quintal, Ron Grant, Simpson Abraham, Cindy Ehmes and Joy Murray Abstract In this cross-country analysis of four small and remote islands, we integrate multiple dimensions of socio-economic demographic data, such as population, land area, remoteness, tourist arrivals and earnings, export earnings, financial support, average incomes, fuel and electricity prices, penetration of renewable energy sources, and motor vehicle usage; we compare these characteristics with per capita use of energy carriers such as electricity, petrol and diesel. From these characteristics, we identify key determinants of energy consumption in the islands. Whereas we focus on energy, our analysis also applies to emissions of carbon and energy-related pollutants. Our results indicate that cultural and social contexts are at least as relevant for policymaking as economic and technological aspects. We suggest that in small island developing States there is scope for policymaking to at the same time: reduce economic vulnerability due to dependence on imported fossil fuels; reduce environmental impact; and progress sustainable development. Such progress can be implemented through peer-to-peer learning programmes facilitated by targeted international cooperation and partnerships.

    PARLIAMENT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF AUSTRALIA Northern Horizons – Unleashing Our Tourism Potential Report on the Inquiry into Opportunities and Methods for Stimulating the Tourism Industry in Northern Australia Joint Standing Committee on Northern Australia June 2018 CANBERRA © Commonwealth of Australia ISBN 978-1-74366-661-6 (Printed Version) ISBN 978-1-74366-662-3 (HTML Version) This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution- NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Australia License. The details of this licence are available on the Creative Commons website: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/au/. Chair's Foreword Northern Australia is home to many iconic locations that attract millions of tourists from across Australia and the world. Uluru in the Northern Territory, the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, and Broome with its unique pearls in Western Australia are all world-renowned tourism destinations, but only scratch the surface of what Northern Australia’s tourism industry has to offer. In 2014 the Committee’s predecessor, the Joint Select Committee on Northern Australia1, released its report Pivot North: Inquiry into the Development of Northern Australia (Pivot North). Pivot North presented an overarching examination of challenges to, and opportunities for, economic growth and development in Northern Australia. In 2016, the predecessor Committee inquired into opportunities to expand the aquaculture industry. This Committee has now turned its focus to examining ways to stimulate the tourism industry in Northern Australia. The tourism industry presents a major opportunity to support the long term economic and social development of the north and thereby contribute to the sustainability of a large number of remote and regional communities.
