ABOUT ICCC • ICCC is a platform of network that reaches scientist communities, international organizations, Indonesian ministries, and academics to encourage robust science-policy linkages in support of actions to deal with issues on climate change in Indonesia. • In 2010, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and President Obama have agreed on the cooperation between the Governments of Indonesia and the United States within the framework of ‘US-Indonesia Comprehensive Partnership’. The two countries set a ‘Plan of Action’, which includes six working groups in the fields of education, defense and security, energy, social democracy and society, trade and investment as well as climate and environment. One of the activities proposed by President Yudhoyono and President Obama, is the formation of climate change study center in Indonesia, which were then followed up under the climate and environment. • Series of coordination meeting facilitated by both Kemenko Kesra and DNPI in developing ICCC’s institutional and program framework have been stated by Menko Kesra and DNPI’s Chairman in the DNPI Coordination Meeting, which was chaired directly by the President in September 30, 2011. • Letter of Intent (LoI) of cooperation between DNPI and USFS has been signed on October 11, 2011. Currently, ICCC conducts its activities under the coordination with DNPI and with financial support from USFS. The possibility for the ICCC legal status establishment is being explored. • DNPI has received statement of interests from potential partners to support program implementations and ICCC sustainability. • ICCC contains three elements: Secretariat to support ICCC operational activities, Steering Committee for directions and strategies of ICCC, and four research clusters. The four research clusters are Peatland & Peatland Mapping; Climate Resilience; Low Emission Development Strategies (LEDS); and Measurement Reporting & Verification (MRV) for climate programs in Indonesia.
