From its founding, ICCC members keep on monitoring the impacts of climate change on human life and the environment, pursuing ways to reduce and mitigate these impacts. In the 6th ICCC conference, participants discussed climate change issues from various viewpoints such as the environment, agriculture, laws, society, economy and culture. The 6th ICCC was also conducted as part of commemorative events to celebrate the 45th anniversary of Sebelas Maret University.

The details of the 6th ICCC will be compiled into the form of research papers and registered by Scopus*. It is our hope that ICCC successful achievements can further accelerate the advancement of climate change research by scholars and engineers in the future.
