Bungwe la International Association for Urban Climate (IAUC) ndi bungwe lapadziko lonse lapansi, lomwe si la boma, lomwe limayimira gulu la anthu padziko lonse lapansi okhudza nyengo m'mizinda. Limasonkhanitsa ofufuza, akatswiri, aphunzitsi, okonza mapulani, opanga mapulani, opanga mfundo, ndi akatswiri ena omwe akufuna kumvetsetsa, kupanga zitsanzo, kuyang'anira, ndi kuthana ndi njira zoyendetsera nyengo m'mizinda ndi malo ena omangidwa. IAUC imapereka nsanja yapadziko lonse lapansi yosinthirana sayansi, mgwirizano, kumanga midzi, ndi kugwiritsa ntchito chidziwitso cha nyengo m'mizinda kuti chithandizire mizinda yokhazikika, yolimba, yathanzi, komanso yokhalamo.
IAUC inakhazikitsidwa mwalamulo mu 2000, kutsatira mbiri yakale ya misonkhano yapadziko lonse ya nyengo ya m'mizinda yomwe inayamba kumapeto kwa zaka za m'ma 1960. Zochitika zam'mbuyomu za misonkhanoyi zinakonzedwa ndi mabungwe monga World Meteorological Organization ndi International Federation for Housing and Planning, ndipo pambuyo pake zochitikazi zinagwirizana pansi pa Msonkhano Wapadziko Lonse Wokhudza Kukwera kwa M'mizinda. Pamsonkhano wa 1999 ku Sydney, gulu la anthu okonda nyengo ya m'mizinda linagwirizana kuti bungwe lovomerezeka komanso losinthasintha likufunika kuti liyimire gawolo. Bungwe la nthawi yochepa linapangidwa, umembala wapadziko lonse unafunidwa, ndipo bungwe loyamba losankhidwa linakumana ku Davis, California, mu Ogasiti 2000. Pambuyo pake chaka chimenecho, mamembala adavota kuti atenge dzina lakuti "International Association for Urban Climate."
Cholinga cha IAUC ndikuyimira ndikugwirizanitsa gulu lapadziko lonse la nyengo ya m'mizinda ndikupititsa patsogolo chidziwitso pa kuyanjana pakati pa mizinda, nyengo, nyengo, ndi njira zamlengalenga. Bungweli limathandizira kafukufuku ndi kusinthana kwa chidziwitso pa sayansi ya nyengo ya m'mizinda, kusintha kwa nyengo, kukhazikika, komanso kugwiritsa ntchito chidziwitso cha nyengo pakupanga, kukonzekera, ndi kupanga zisankho m'mizinda. Ntchito yake imachokera pakumvetsetsa kwakukulu komanso kosiyanasiyana kwa nyengo ya m'mizinda, kuphatikiza nyengo ndi nyengo ya madera omangidwa; kusinthana pakati pa pamwamba pa mizinda ndi gawo la malire a mlengalenga; mpweya wabwino wa m'mizinda; mphepo ndi chisokonezo m'mizinda; kuyeza, kupanga zitsanzo, ndi kuzindikira kutali kwa mawonekedwe a mlengalenga ndi pamwamba pa mizinda; njira zazing'ono zomwe zimagwirizanitsidwa ndi zinthu za m'mizinda monga nyumba, misewu, mapaki, ndi misewu; mlengalenga wa nyumba; biometeorology ndi chitonthozo cha kutentha kwa anthu; komanso kuwonetsa malo a m'mizinda m'machitidwe a nyengo, nyengo, ndi dziko lapansi.
Ntchito yaikulu ya IAUC ndi Msonkhano Wapadziko Lonse Wokhudza Nyengo ya Mizinda, womwe umachitika zaka ziwiri kapena zitatu zilizonse ndipo ndi umodzi mwa misonkhano yotsogola padziko lonse lapansi yofufuza ndi kuchita zinthu zokhudzana ndi nyengo ya m'mizinda. IAUC idatenga udindo wa mndandanda wa ICUC mu 2003. Msonkhanowu umabweretsa pamodzi gulu lapadziko lonse lapansi la ofufuza za nyengo ya m'mizinda, okonza mapulani a mizinda, opanga mapulani, ndi opanga mfundo, ndipo umapereka malo okambirana za kupita patsogolo kwa sayansi komanso kugwiritsa ntchito chidziwitso cha nyengo pakupanga ndi kuyang'anira mizinda. Misonkhano yaposachedwa ya ICUC yakopa nthumwi zoposa 800 kuchokera kumayiko 55, zomwe zikusonyeza kuti gawoli likufikira padziko lonse lapansi komanso kuti lili ndi makhalidwe osiyanasiyana.
IAUC imalimbikitsanso kusinthana kwa anthu ammudzi kudzera pa webusaiti yake, makalata, zolemba ntchito, zida zophunzitsira, ndi chithandizo cha mapulojekiti otsogozedwa ndi anthu ammudzi. Imazindikira zopereka zabwino kwambiri pantchitoyi kudzera mu mphotho monga Mphotho ya Luke Howard ndi Mphotho ya Timothy Oke.
IAUC yadzipereka kutenga nawo mbali molingana komanso mopanda tsankho m'mamembala ndi zochitika zake zonse, kuphatikizapo zofalitsa, misonkhano, misonkhano, ndi mphotho. Bungweli likufuna kuyimira kusiyanasiyana konse kwa anthu okhala m'mizinda m'magawo osiyanasiyana, m'madera osiyanasiyana, pantchito, ndi m'magawo osiyanasiyana. Umembala ndi wotseguka kwa anthu omwe ali ndi chidwi cha sayansi, maphunziro, ukadaulo, kapena zothandiza pankhani ya nyengo ya m'mizinda ndipo ndi waulere. Mamembala amapeza mwayi wolumikizana ndi netiweki ndi zinthu za IAUC ndipo amatha kutenga nawo mbali pakupanga anthu ammudzi kudzera mukuvota ndi kutenga nawo mbali muzochitika za mgwirizano.
Bungwe la IAUC lili ndi mamembala pafupifupi 15, kuphatikizapo mamembala 8 osankhidwa ndi mamembala onse, komanso akuluakulu ndi oimira misonkhano. Bungweli limaphatikizapo Purezidenti, Mlembi, ndi Msungichuma, ndipo limakumana osachepera kawiri pachaka chilichonse. Mamembala osankhidwa a bungweli nthawi zambiri amakhala zaka zinayi, ndi kusinthana nthawi zonse.
Kudzera mu misonkhano yake, mauthenga, zinthu zothandizira, mphoto, ndi maukonde, IAUC imagwira ntchito ngati bungwe lalikulu padziko lonse lapansi lopititsa patsogolo sayansi ya nyengo m'mizinda ndikumasulira chidziwitso chimenecho kukhala chochita. Panthawi yomwe mizinda ikukumana ndi mavuto omwe akukula chifukwa cha kusintha kwa nyengo, kutentha kwambiri, kuipitsidwa kwa mpweya, kukula kwa mizinda mwachangu, komanso kufunikira kwa kusintha kosatha, IAUC imapereka malo ofunikira olumikizira ukatswiri wa sayansi ndi kukonzekera, kapangidwe, mfundo, ndi machitidwe.
