IPIKU seeks to empower an existing working group of Micronesian scholars to foster community-based indigenous dialogue, leadership, and scholarship addressing global challenges that significantly impact the region, such as climate change, geopolitical tensions, health crises, and biodiversity loss. Recognizing the unique cultural heritage and sustainable practices of Micronesian island nations, the organization aims to preserve indigenous knowledge, promote environmental sustainability, and advocate for economic and social justice. Its mission includes creating a centralized repository of knowledge, fostering youth leadership, and building partnerships to address regional and global concerns. IPIKU emphasizes traditional wisdom, human rights, and durable partnerships to navigate the tradeoffs and synergies of sustainable development, serving as a microcosm for broader global initiatives like the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
