(IPCC) is a Palestinian research, training, and planning organization based in Jerusalem. Founded in 1998, IPCC's activities have focused on issues related to Jerusalem; many IPCC projects seek to establish data and information bases that bear on the complex problems that will inevitably impinge on Jerusalem. These projects frequently result in publications that are distributed to a broad array of local, national and international decision-makers within both governmental and NGO organizations. IPCC also conducts training projects designed to raise the information, competency and involvement levels of various civil society groupings, including journalists, urban architects and planners, youth, labor and women. IPCC is supported by numerous international foundations and frequently partners with the European and American universities and Middle East institutions in its projects.
