Abstract

Global climate change is a critical issue that demands collective attention and action from various sectors, including the academic community. This community service program aims to increase the awareness and involvement of the academic community, especially students and lecturers, in sustainable climate action. The activity was carried out collaboratively by Musamus University, WALHI, and the Sophia organization through three stages: guest lectures, Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), and the Ecology Academy. Guest lectures present speakers from environmental organizations who discuss climate change issues and their local relevance. FGDs explored community-based mitigation ideas, while the Ecology Academy provided training in developing practical and sustainable solutions. One hundred nineteen students from various study programs participated, with the level of understanding of the activity objectives reaching 95%. Although participation in the FGDs and the Academy was not maximized, this activity built awareness and initial commitment to environmental action. In the future, strengthening the participation mechanism and flexibility of implementation are expected to sustainably expand the program’s impact.

Abstract

The Papuan Indigenous People in Payum Village, Merauke, who are mostly fishermen, face economic challenges due to the impact of climate change which has the potential to reduce fish catches. On the other hand, women in this village have not been actively involved in potential economic activities. The strategy to overcome these challenges is to conduct training in making coconut derivative products, such as body butter, solid soap, body scrub, and lip balm. This training aims to empower the community, especially women, by improving their skills in utilizing the abundant potential of coconuts to create value-added business opportunities. The results of the training showed success in improving the understanding and skills of the participants. The participants, under the guidance of expert speakers from Makassar, succeeded in producing various coconut derivative products according to standards. In addition, this training also facilitated the formation of women's business groups as a strategic step in community empowerment in Payum Village. With further assistance, this activity is expected to be able to create economic independence for the community and become a model of empowerment based on local potential to deal with the impacts of climate change.
