BACKGROUND
US President Obama and Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono announced the US-Indonesia Comprehensive Partnership in 2010, which consists of several initiatives to strengthen the bilateral cooperation to confront the challenges of the 21st century. These wide arrays of programs were framed under 6 Working Groups, namely Democracy and Civil Society; Education; Climate and Environment; Trade and Investment;
Security; and Energy.
Under the Climate and Environment Working Group, the National Council on Climate Change and the US Forest Service have identified the need to strengthen the capacity of the Indonesian Climate Change Center. The Indonesia Climate Change Center (ICCC) is a resource center to produce science-based policies.
ICCC also serves to encourage robust science-policy linkages in support of actions to deal with issues of climate change in Indonesia.
Indonesia Climate Change Center (ICCC) comprises three key institutional elements: (1) Secretariat as a facilitator of the Center, (2) Steering Committee as a body to direct as well as advise strategically of center operation, (3) Research Clusters, consisting of Low Emission Development Strategies, Peatland and Mapping, Climate Resilience and MRV for Climate Programs, as supportive entities in building science-based policy and programs development.
As the development of the Indonesia Climate Change Center (ICCC) is still in its infancy, the National Council on Climate Change recognises that a good communication strategy is central, both in disseminating the importance of the ICCC to the policy makers and scientific communities, and in creating demands for ICCC to produce assessment of a science-based policy that can address climate change challenges.
In support of this, the National Council of Climate Change, as the host of ICCC, has proposed to hire a communication officer to assist the center in implementing the communication strategy and the daily programs.
