        "summary": "Indonesia and Australia are collaborating to develop an evidence-based regulatory framework to steer puskesmas towards Net Zero emissions in Gorontalo and North Sulawesi. The study, led by the University of Melbourne with Indonesian partners, runs for two years from August 2025 under the PAIR programme and will produce policy recommendations and decarbonisation incentives tailored to local communities. Deputy Australian Ambassador to Indonesia Gita Kamath welcomed the project, hoping the findings translate into real-world impact.",
        "content": "<p>That research runs for two years from August 2025 under the\nPartnership for Australia\u2013Indonesia Research (PAIR) programme. Gorontalo\n\u2014 Indonesia and Australia are collaborating to strengthen the transition\nto low-emission health services through research to develop a net zero\nregulatory framework for puskesmas in Gorontalo and North Sulawesi. The\nstudy, entitled \u2018Green Health: Community Health Centre Net Zero\nTransition Regulatory Framework\u2019, was presented at an academic event in\nthe Aula of the Faculty of Economics and Business at Gorontalo State\nUniversity on Thursday, and it was deemed relevant to sustainable\ndevelopment goals and the strengthening of regional health governance.\nOne of the researchers, Yowan Tamu, explained that the study runs for\ntwo years from August 2025 under the PAIR programme. He noted that the\nresearch involves collaboration with several universities from both\ncountries, with the University of Melbourne leading the Australian\nconsortium. Indonesian partners include Hasanuddin University, Bandung\nInstitute of Technology, Gorontalo State University, Gadjah Mada\nUniversity, and Sam Ratulangi University. \u2018This research is not only\nacademically oriented but also aimed at delivering real impact for\nhealth governance in the region,\u2019 Yowan said. He noted that the research\nteam is developing an evidence-based regulatory framework that can be\napplied at the puskesmas level to support the transition to net zero\nemissions in primary health services. The research also involves various\nstrategic partners, including the Gorontalo Provincial Development\nPlanning Agency (Bappeda) and provincial- and district-level health\noffices to support integration of research into regional development\nplanning documents. In addition to mapping regulations, the study also\nincludes interviews, focused group discussions and surveys at several\npuskesmas involving around 50 respondents. The research team aims to\nproduce evidence-based policy recommendations on the net zero transition\nin primary health facilities, models for decarbonising health service\nincentives, and social and anthropological approaches to ensure the\nregulations match local community conditions. The Deputy Australian\nAmbassador to Indonesia, Gita Kamath, who was also present, hoped that\nthe collaborative research would have a direct impact on communities.\n\u2018May the findings be translated into real-world impact,\u2019 she said.<\/p>",
