Abstract

Climate change is an important educational issue that contributes to sustainable development. Students in urban areas play an important role as key contributors in mitigating the worsening climate change. This activity aims to increase the understanding of climate change among junior high school students in urban areas. The method used is a classical face-to-face approach with socialization and games using climate flashcards to convey information related to climate change. The evaluation results showed that the students' average knowledge of climate change reached 74.3%, but there was a lower understanding, namely 34.6%, related to adaptation and mitigation efforts. This finding shows that although the students' knowledge level is quite high, a comprehensive understanding of climate change is still lacking. Through this training, an increase in students' understanding of 93% was recorded, indicating that the socialization and game method using climate flashcards was effective in improving students' comprehensive knowledge of climate change. Therefore, this "understanding of climate change" training can be an effective model for climate change education for students

Abstract

This activity was to give training for youth about how to make an innovative and sustainable method for integrating fish and vegetable cultivation using minimal space. The training aimed to enhance participants' understanding and skills in material selection, installation making, waste utilization, and aquaponic farming techniques. Initially, participants had a poor comprehension of these concepts, with an understanding score of 52.5 (Category E). However, after completing hands-on training, their scores improved to the 52-63 range (Category B), demonstrating significant progress. The training covered essential aspects such as selecting durable and cost-effective materials, constructing efficient Budikdamber installations, repurposing plastic cup waste for hydroponic plant cultivation, and balancing the aquatic ecosystem for optimal fish and vegetable growth. The results highlight the effectiveness of practical education in fostering sustainable agricultural practices and reducing environmental impact. These findings emphasize the potential of Budikdamber systems in enhancing food security, resource efficiency, and economic opportunities for communities.
