Background

The Indonesia Climate Change Center (hereafter called the “Center”) is envisioned to be a mechanism to mobilize Indonesia’s scientific community and coordinate technical input to address pressing climate change policy priorities. Through an agreement with the U.S. Department of State, Office of Environment and Science Affairs, the USFS is assisting the National Climate Change Council (DNPI) to establish the Indonesia Climate Change Center (ICCC), which will focus initially on addressing carbon emissions from forests and peatlands and ultimately will address science related to policy development in the areas of Low Emissions Development Strategies (LEDS), Monitoring, Reporting and Validation (MRV) and Climate Resilience.
