Abstract

Salt marshes along the coast of Kulon Progo in Yogyakarta can act as blue carbon storage facilities to achieve the climate change mitigation goals outlined in Indonesia’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) for 2030. Three villages in Temon District became the location of this research: Glagah, Palihan, and Jangkaran Villages. A mixed-methods approach was employed in this research, encompassing direct field observation, soil and vegetation analysis in their capacity as carbon storage, and interviews with individuals in the 3 villages. The results of the analysis showed that there was a small amount of carbon content in various locations in the 3 villages. Mangroves and pine trees, particularly those growing around swamps, play a significant role in carbon absorption. However, this study revealed a decrease in the potential of salt marsh land due to changes in land use to Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA) and the surrounding city planning. As a result, carbon storage capacity is reduced, and carbon emissions from land that has changed function are higher. The study also sees the importance of strengthening government policies and regulations and increasing community participation in salt marsh conservation through village-based programs such as the Climate Village Program (PROKLIM) and Resilient Coastal Village. The study concludes that through salt marsh conservation, the potential for blue carbon becomes more significant, which also requires collaboration between stakeholders.

Abstract

The Environmental Education Day: Water, Climate, and Sustainability activity at SDN Sardonoharjo 1 was implemented to foster sustainable climate literacy among elementary school students through an interactive and contextual learning approach. This activity employed a descriptive qualitative method with a single case study design, involving fourth, fifth, and sixth-grade students in a series of hands-on and game-based learning activities tailored to their developmental levels. The results show that this learning model significantly improved students’ understanding of water and climate concepts through concrete and enjoyable learning experiences. Students demonstrated enhanced ability to relate the hydrological cycle and climate change concepts to real-world phenomena and logically identify the causes and impacts of climate change. Furthermore, the activity strengthened 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity, as evidenced by active participation, problem-solving ability, and the quality of student-produced posters. Other findings indicate an increase in ecological awareness and environmentally friendly behavior, reflected in students’ reflective attitudes during games and classroom discussions. This program proved effective in instilling sustainability values from an early age and can serve as a replicable learning model for strengthening environmental education at the elementary school level.

Abstract

Achieving effective Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) requires a shift from passive assistance to participatory community development. This study analyzes how this principle led to the sustainable implementation of the Climate Village Program (Proklim) in Banguntapan. This project was realized through a multi-stakeholder collaboration involving PT AAF, GCI, and PUSPIK UII. The research specifically examines the role of the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) model in ensuring local relevance. Using a qualitative, single case study design, the research applies Arnstein’s Ladder to measure involvement levels. Crucially, it also utilizes the Dialogic Ladder to assess the quality of two-way communication. Primary data was gathered via Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) and in-depth interviews centered on decision-making processes. Findings indicate that PRA successfully identified an urgent, community-driven need: the mentoring of ten sub-villages for Proklim implementation. The partners responded by pivoting the program's focus to support this local priority. This shift confirmed the achievement of the highest communication standard “authentic dialogue” defined by high mutuality and shared power. Ultimately, this outcome demonstrates that sustainable CSR relies on multi-stakeholder collaboration that empowers the community as the primary subject of development, reaching the level of "delegated power" on Arnstein’s Ladder.

Abstract

Aims: This study assesses the future potential of Indonesia’s blue carbon ecosystems from an environmental and climate engineering perspective, focusing on mangroves, seagrass beds, and saltmarshes.Methods: Using a desk-based mixed-methods approach, it synthesizes secondary data from global and national sources to compare three development trajectories: Business as Usual, restoration-driven, and engineering-integrated pathways. Rather than relying on spatial modeling or site-specific measurements, the analysis applies an engineering-oriented synthesis that links published ecosystem extent and carbon metrics with documented coastal engineering and restoration cases to infer comparative future carbon performance and resilience.Result: The findings indicate that blue carbon systems can deliver substantially greater and more durable climate benefits when ecological conservation is combined with engineered–nature interventions such as hybrid infrastructure, sediment enhancement, and green coastal buffers. These approaches not only enhance long-term carbon sequestration but also strengthen shoreline protection, biodiversity, and coastal livelihoods. The study identifies persistent gaps in policy integration, financing, and coastal design standards that limit implementation and proposes strategic recommendations for embedding engineering-enhanced blue carbon solutions into Indonesia’s climate policies, including Nationally Determined Contributions, and coastal development planning.Conclusion: Overall, the paper demonstrates the feasibility and relevance of integrating environmental engineering into blue carbon strategies to support climate-resilient coastal development in Indonesia.

Abstract

Aims: This study assesses the potential of mangrove fruits as a sustainable feedstock for biodiesel production to support climate change mitigation and adaptation in coastal regions.Methods: A peer-reviewed literature published between 2008 and 2025 was conducted to evaluate oil yield, fatty acid composition, and conversion challenges associated with mangrove-based biodiesel.Result: Quantitative findings show that several mangrove species exhibit exceptionally high oil content, notably Cerbera manghas Linn., with oil yields reaching 67.1%, significantly exceeding many conventional biodiesel feedstocks. Other promising species include Suaeda salsa (Linn.) Pall. (40%) and Wikstroemia indica (Linn.) (up to 39%). The extracted oils contain dominant fatty acids, palmitic, oleic, and linoleic acids, indicating strong compatibility with biodiesel standards. However, elevated free fatty acid (FFA) levels present technical constraints by reducing catalyst efficiency during transesterification, highlighting the need for pre-treatment or alternative catalytic approaches. From a policy perspective, mangrove-based biofuel development aligns with Indonesia’s National Energy Policy under Presidential Regulation No. 5 of 2006, which targets 5% biofuel use by 2025.Conclusion: Overall, mangrove fruits offer high technical potential, provided that processing, infrastructure, and policy support are strengthened.

Abstract

Blue carbon refers to carbon stored in coastal and marine ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrass meadows, and salt marshes, which play an important role in climate change mitigation. This study aims to assess the potential for blue carbon development in the coastal area of Gunung Kidul Regency, which is dominated by karst landforms. The methods used include a review of literature related to blue carbon potential in Indonesia and field observations carried out at six coastal sites. The results show that the blue carbon potential in this area is limited due to physical characteristics such as steep karst cliffs and the absence of mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrass ecosystems caused by unsuitable coastal morphology. However, coastal vegetation such as Pandanus tectorius and Casuarina equisetifolia demonstrates relatively high carbon storage capacity and may serve as alternatives for local blue carbon strategies. These findings indicate that blue carbon development efforts in Gunung Kidul should focus on optimizing coastal vegetation adapted to the physical environment. In conclusion, although the limited presence of typical blue carbon ecosystems reduces the region’s storage capacity, opportunities still exist through enhancing the role of resilient coastal vegetation as part of ecosystem-based climate mitigation solutions.
