Low carbon energy tracking
Low carbon energy tracking
IPB University performs renewable energy (low-carbon energy) regularly tracking from solar panel and gas generator sets. This activity is a form of IPB’s commitment to achieving the Green Campus program and reducing GHG. In 2021, there will be additional low-carbon energy sources in the form of 54 solar panels for building lighting and 1 gas generator set. Low-carbon energy in 2021 increased by 66.6 GJ (262%) from 2019.

Local education programmes on climate
IPB University organizes educational programs related to climate change issues. For example, IPB University held summer courses with the theme: Reducing Carbon Footprints, Lesson Learned for Post COVID-19 World. The summer course activity emphasized that the safe and comfortable campus ecosystem could address the world’s carbon emissions challenge. A double degree program was launched between IPB University and Western Sydney University during the activity.
In addition, there is a social media-based campaign for tackling carbon emissions through IPB Virtual Gowes (Cycling) event attended by all IPB civitas. Another campaign, “Low Carbon Diet Food, to tackle Climate Change Impact”, was organized by one of the student creativity program groups (PKM).

Climate Action Plan, shared
IPB University collaborated with UCLG-ASPAC to hold climate action plan development in 10 cities in Indonesia, i.e. Pekanbaru, Pangkalpinang, Bandar Lampung, Cirebon, Banjarmasin, Samarinda, Mataram, Kupang, Gorontalo, and Ternate. This activity aims to provide capacity building to assist the local government in preparing the Climate Action Plan through Training and Mentoring. The training activities were carried out for 13 months from August 2021 to February 2023 (the implementation of training and mentoring had stopped for 3 months from October 2021 to January 2022), and the training process was carried out through hybrid meetings. Researchers and lecturers from CCROM-SEAP IPB and the Department of Geophysics and Meteorology (Geomet) were resource persons in this training activity.
Gunung Walat University Forest with PT TOSO Industry Indonesia collaborated to implement a voluntary carbon trading scheme. This collaboration becomes a model of small-scale forest management that successfully implements voluntary carbon market and sustainable forest management for non-forest timber products. Those activities are a part of forest conservation and restoration.
In addition, alumni of IPB University (Ikrom Mustofa) were appointed as a delegation in ASEAN Youth on Climate Action 2021 and received National Award for contributions to environmental action. Ikrom is the founder of Generasi Cerdas Iklim (GCI), a foundation whose name translates to “Climate Smart Generation”. GCI is a social youth movement established in 2015 which focuses on education for climate change and disaster mitigation and adaptation, community service, and disaster training.

Co-operative planning for climate change disasters
IPB University collaborated with the government and stakeholders in cooperative planning for climate change disasters. For example, The National Board for Disaster Management (BNPB) partners with IPB University to rebuild the economy of Sukabumi landslide victims through local resource-based entrepreneurial capacity-building programs (e.g. palm sugar, cardamon, bamboo, etc). In line with that program, IPB held a business meeting to assist disaster-prone villages with relevant Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD) and Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda). Furthermore, IPB experts also play an active role in international and cross-governmental institutions related to mitigating climate change disasters.
The National Board for Disaster Management (BNPB) partners with IPB University to rebuild the economy of Sukabumi landslide victims. The program focuses on developing palm sugar, cardamom, bamboo-based, and wood waste-based handcrafts. The goal of this program is for the community to be indeed independent. The program hopes to increase the community’s enterprises capacity, expand the market network, and synergize with the local Sukabumi government and stakeholders.
