CCROM-SEAP IPB University Gives Technical Assistance for Development of Climate Action Plan at City Level

CCROM-SEAP (Centre for Climate Risk and Opportunity Management in Southeast Asia Pasific) IPB University provides support for the GCoM Asia Project in developing the capacity of city governments in preparing Climate Action Plans (CAP). There are 3 cities and 1 district that receive support for this activity, namely Medan City, Pontianak City, Tangerang City and North Minahasa Regency. The output of this activity is the preparation of a Regional Climate Action Plan Document which includes a GHG inventory study, a climate change risk and vulnerability study, and a climate mitigation and adaptation action plan. All of this scientific basis is packaged in a climate action plan document, which has been submitted to GCoM by the city government. <<see the details>>

Climate Resilient and Inclusive Cities Program to Help Local Governments Arrange the Climate Action Plan

CCROM-SEAP IPB University held the Climate Resilient and Inclusive Cities (CRIC) program. This program is expected to increase the capacity of local governments regarding the preparation of climate change adaptation and mitigation action plans. This activity was carried out in 10 pilot cities, namely Pekanbaru City, Pangkalpinang, Bandar Lampung, Cirebon, Banjarmasin, Samarinda, Mataram, Kupang, Gorontalo and Ternate. In its implementation, the support provided to regional governments is training and mentoring activities. The output of this activity includes (1) The City Government is able to calculate vulnerability potential impacts, (2) The City Government is able to calculate greenhouse gas, (3) The City Government can operate the SIDIK & SIGN SMART platform, (3) The City Government can identify and prioritize adaptation and mitigation action programs and activities related to climate change through the Tagging process (4) City Government in establishing a climate action plan to reduce emissions and increase adaptive capacity following national targets. <<see the details>>

IPB and the Ministry of Environment and Forestry Socialize SIPP-Karhutla to Maluku and Papua

The Ministry of Environment and Forestry is socializing the Forest and Forestry Prevention Patrol Information System (SIPP) to facilitate the reporting process for forest and land fire prevention patrols at the Maluku and Papua Region Climate Change Control Center (PPI). SIPP Karhutla is an application designed as an early warning and monitoring system to prevent forest and land fires. This application was designed by the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at IPB University, together with the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.

IPB University and Ministry of Agriculture Conduct The Technical Guidance on Food Mitigation in the Face of Hydrometeorological Disasters
One of the reasons for the disruption in food stock availability is the hydrometeorological disaster. Implemented disaster management strategies frequently need to give a solution. Therefore, The Disaster Study Center of IPB University with The Ministry of Agriculture conducts online technical guidance on Availability of Food Stocks and Protection of Farmers in Sulawesi”. IPB University and The Ministry of Agriculture collaborated to create this program.

IPB University Collaborates with Ministry of Environment and Forestry to Develop Early Warning System for Forest Fire

IPB University Launches Forest and Land Fire Prevention Information System (SIPP Karhutla) – SMART Patrol Information System. This SIPP Karhutla is IPB University’s breakthrough, which can solve problems with technology. This system is also part of an early warning system to predict the future in terms of efforts to prevent forest fires. The development of this system was carried out by the Computer Science Department of IPB University and in collaboration with the Sumatra Region Climate Change and Forest and Land Fire Control Center (Balai PPIKHL), the Kalimantan Region PPIKHL Center, and the Directorate of Forest and Land Fire Control – Directorate General of Climate Change Control, Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK). <<see the details>>

The Center for Disaster Studies IPB University

Hydrometeorological disasters not only threaten the stability of food stocks but also threaten the survival of farmers. Therefore, studying appropriate food mitigation strategies is a frequent agenda, considering threat factors often change. The Center for Disaster Studies (PSB) IPB University has the critical task of being able to provide solutions related to disasters that impact the agricultural sector. Moreover, this sector tends to be vulnerable to disasters, especially hydrometeorological disasters, due to climate change. IPB University itself has implemented technology 4.0 to help farmers predict disasters and provide appropriate mitigation steps so that PSB IPB can work together with local and regional governments to help predict and develop disaster mitigation plans. <<see the details>>

IPB University Collaborated with Islamic Series Indonesia conducted the study “Gender-Based Approach to Climate Change Adaptation in Lombok”

Department of Consumer and Family Sciences, Faculty of Human Ecology, IPB University, in collaboration with Islamic Relief Indonesia, conducted the study “Gender-Based Approach to Climate Change Adaptation in Lombok”. This study aims to assess the extent to which women are vulnerable to climate change disasters on Lombok Island. This study also identifies the process of mainstreaming gender issues in development planning. As well as identifying gender-based good practices according to the results of evaluation and learning during the project.

IPB Collaborated with Global Green Growth Institute to Develop an Integrated Strategic Instrument for Supporting The Integration of NDCs into Development Plans and Policies 

CCROM SEAP IPB, in collaboration with the Global Green Growth Institute, is carrying out integrated strategic instrument development activities to support the integration of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) into the Indonesian government’s development plans and policies, starting September 2021 to March 2023. This activity aims to prepare an integrated strategic instrument to support the Indonesian government in mainstreaming it. NDC into development plans and policies and to invest in reducing emissions from deforestation, forest degradation, and peatlands through strengthening government and stakeholder capacity. <<see the details>>

Faculty of Forestry and Environment IPB University Collaborated With FIELD Indonesia Held Clean Air Program

IPB University’s Faculty of Forestry and Environment collaborates with FIELD Indonesia to hold a collaborative program to create clean air. Some of the main activities are related to controlling forest and land fires. Apart from that, this program also helps facilitate Burn-Free Land Preparation (PLTB) Training activities, which are coordinated directly by FIELD Indonesia. The training is held where forest or land fires frequently occur. <<see the details>>

IPB Collaborated With ISBB Held International Conference About “Sawit Baik” 

IPB University’s Surfactant and Bioenergy Research Center (SBRC), in collaboration with the International Society of Biomass and Bioenergy (ISBB), held the 2022 International Conference on Biomass and Bioenergy (ICBB). This international conference is one of the forums to promote and campaign for “Sawit Baik” internationally. Utilizing biomass into bioenergy can increase national bioenergy use and support the government in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and meeting Net Zero Emissions (NZE) targets.

Other activities carried out by IPB in collaboration with the Lentera Pustaka Community Reading Park
