iklimsel

Iklimsel is a term used in Indonesian-language discourse to describe matters related to climate. It appears to be formed from the root iklim (climate) paired with a suffix that appears in contemporary jargon to indicate relation to a domain. The word is not part of established dictionaries and is best understood as a neologism or industry-specific coinage used in environmental science, policy, journalism, and public discussion.

In practice, iklimsel is used to label data, risks, impacts, and interventions that pertain to climate. Phrases such as risiko iklimsel (climate-related risk), indikator iklimsel (climate indicator), and dampak iklimsel (climate-related impact) are encountered in research articles, policy briefs, and media coverage. The term helps to condense references to climate aspects without repeating iklim in every expression.

Because iklimsel is not standardized, its usage can vary by author or institution, and some writers may prefer alternative terms. Its adoption tends to be strongest in Indonesian-language environmental science and policy communities. As climate discourse evolves, iklimsel may gain wider recognition or be replaced by more formal terminology.
