<![CDATA[ABSTRAK Fenomena iklim ekstrim yang semakin meningkat dalam beberapa tahun terakhir telah memicu berbagai permasalahan lingkungan di wilayah perkotaan, salah satunya meningkatnya frekuensi kejadian banjir. Penyebab lain ditemukan kondisi lingkungan perkotaan, serta rendahnya kapasitas pengelolaan lingkungan berbasis masyarakat. Program Kampung Iklim (Proklim) dengan pendekatan Smart Village menjadi salah satu strategi untuk pemberdayaan masyarakat dalam mengatasi permasalahan lingkungan. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan model pemberdayaan masyarakat berbasis Smart Village guna mendukung penguatan Kampung Iklim di Kota Medan. Mitra kegiatan adalah komunitas sekolah SDIT Amrullah Akbar. Solusi yang ditawarkan dengan melakukan (1) Desain Taman edukasi lingkungan, (2) Edukasi Siswa dan Peran orang tua dalam penguatan kampung iklim, (3) Pemanfaatan pekarangan sekolah dengan Vertikal farming, Budikdamber dan (4) Fasilitasi pengakuan komunitas kampung iklim. Metode pelaksanaan menggunakan pendekatan edukatif dan partisipatif melalui kegiatan sosialisasi, pelatihan, praktik lapangan, serta pendampingan berkelanjutan. Target luaran mencakup peningkatan jumlah kampung iklim, meningkatnya partisipasi masyarakat, terbentuknya sistem bank sampah digital, serta pengakuan komunitas SDIT Amrullah Akbar sebagai salah satu kampung iklim. Program ini telah mendukung mitigasi dan adaptasi perubahan iklim berbasis teknologi dan pemberdayaan masyarakat menuju lingkungan tangguh dan berkelanjutan. Masyarakat yang tergabung dalam komunitas SDIT Amrullah Akbar mulai mengimplementasikan teknologi sederhana seperti komposter, vertikultur, dan lampu LED hemat energi sebagai bagian dari upaya mitigasi perubahan iklim. Penerapan teknologi tepat guna tersebut terbukti membantu mengurangi timbulan sampah, menambah ruang hijau, dan menekan emisi karbon di lingkungan sekitar.

ABSTRACT The increasing frequency of extreme climate events in recent years has contributed to various environmental challenges in urban areas, particularly the rising incidence of flooding. Contributing factors include suboptimal urban environmental conditions and limited community capacity in environmental management. The Climate Village Program, implemented through a Smart Village approach, represents a strategic framework for community empowerment in addressing these environmental issues. This community service initiative aimed to develop a Smart Village–based community empowerment model to strengthen the Climate Village Program in Medan City. The project partner was the SDIT Amrullah Akbar school community. The proposed interventions included: (1) the development of an environmental education park; (2) student education and parental engagement in strengthening the Climate Village initiative; (3) optimization of schoolyard utilization through vertical farming and Budikdamber (fish cultivation in buckets); and (4) facilitation of formal recognition as a Climate Village community. The program was implemented using an educational and participatory approach through socialization sessions, training, field practice, and continuous mentoring. The targeted outcomes included an increase in the number of Climate Villages, enhanced community participation, the establishment of a digital waste bank system, and official recognition of the SDIT Amrullah Akbar community as a Climate Village. The program contributed to technology-based climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts while promoting community empowerment toward a resilient and sustainable environment. The community has begun adopting simple technologies, such as composting, vertical gardening, and energy-efficient LED lighting, as part of climate mitigation strategies. The implementation of these appropriate technologies has demonstrably reduced waste generation, expanded green spaces, and lowered carbon emissions in the surrounding environment.
