Dr Hina Aslam joined the ANU College of Law in December 2022 as the Andre Hoffmann Fellow on Circular Economy Policy, with the World Economic Forum. During her fellowship, she is focusing on researching key regulatory challenges and corresponding opportunities for 4IR circular solutions.
Dr Hina carries a strong educational background of environmental management with a doctorate degree in ecology from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, and a master’s in environmental engineering and sciences from Beijing Institute of Technology, China.
Dr Hina’s research and management experience spans several regions, including South Asia, the Asia Pacific, and West Asia. She has led, managed, and successfully delivered research-based programs in the field of Environment and climate change policy, renewable energy policy, governance, technology, climate finance, sustainable development goals, e-waste management, natural resource management, sustainability assessments. She has led multiple research projects led policy programs and projects in the field of energy, environment, and climate change, and worked at reputable organizations. She carries a strong understanding of regulation related to circular economy, supplier responsibility, waste management, raw materials classification, and/or cross-border value chains, including trade and investment law, with the knowledge of or demonstrated potential to understand emerging technologies of relevance to circular economy. She is well equipped with technical knowledge and capacities in the field including the GHG protocol standard courses and certifications.
During her work here at ANU college of Law, she is working on exploring the regulatory and market initiatives on certification and standards (both public and market certification schemes) for hard-to-abate industrial products such as Iron & steel, Aluminium, and Cement which rely on embedded emissions accounting. Her particular focus is on the assessment of the prevalence and relevance of circularity and co-products in novel and traditional production these products and identifying enablers and barriers to utilisation of embedded emissions accounting where circularity (including recycling) and co-products are important. The work will allow recognizing the role of embedded emissions accounting frameworks in incentivizing circularity and reducing embedded emissions to help to de-risk decarbonisation of heavy industries and facilitate net zero transition.
Dr. Hina’s collaboration with the World Economic Forum enables her to engage with key stakeholders and Forum Partners – including leaders from the private sector, governments, international organizations, civil society, and faculty from diverse academic disciplines. She has been working towards delivering specific action-oriented outcomes through her research and engagement through workshops and conferences, and facilitating collaborations among the forum, ANU and all relevant stakeholders. Her recently published Agenda blog presents the snapshot of her ongoing work.
Moreover, Dr. Hina is spearheading the development of a critical briefing paper on circularity metrics, in collaboration with the University of Cambridge and the Forum, with the objective of publication at COP29. Beyond her extensive collaborative publications, she remains an active and influential participant in global conferences, the organizer of community workshops, and a vital contributor to various working groups. Dr. Hina’s commitment to fostering innovation, sustainability, and interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive her distinguished career and influence within the global community.
