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.
Under the Climate and Environment Working Group, the National Council on
Climate Change (DNPI) and the US
Forest Service (USFS) have identified the need to strengthen the capacity of the Indonesian
Climate Change Center (ICCC). 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) Oversight 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.
US Government is committed to
funding the organizational and program developments through June 2014. ICCC is
in the process of developing a sustainability strategy to continue implementing
activities for an additional three years. Currently it is in communications
with the Government of Norway for support beyond June 2014. It is anticipated that smooth transition will
take place for the Center’s secretariat and programs.
The ICCC will be supported by a secretariat nested
within the National Council on Climate Change. The secretariat will support
day-to-day operations of
