We Are
IKUPI
IUCCE stands for Initiative for Urban Climate Change and Environment. In 2018, IUCCE decided to rebrand become IKUPI so that local partner such as Disaster Preparedness Groups (KSB), PKK, Community Empowerment Institutions of sub-district (LPMK) and organization which has been cooperating in IKUPI program activities can be more familiar. This organization is located in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia. The centrality of our home based city in Indonesian context has inspired the organization values and missions. As the city itself, IUCCE is a hub where stakeholders representing academic, government, civil society as well as private sector are embraced to promote sustainability in urban areas, especially within Indonesian context. IUCCE provides space for those who concern with improving adaptive capacity of urban areas to cope with climate change and changing environment.
