Abstract

This study examines how pesantren in Lombok develop climate literacy among Gen Z santri through da‘wah communication and participatory digital eco-literacy media. Climate change calls for greater involvement of religious educational institutions in strengthening ecological awareness and climate literacy among younger generations. Using a qualitative case study, the research involved 20 santri as the main participants purposively, with pesantren leaders and mudabbir as informants. Data were gathered through interviews, focus group discussions, observation, documentation, and an evaluation questionnaire. Qualitative data were analyzed thematically, while questionnaire responses were analyzed descriptively. The results indicate that greening, waste management, environmental cleanliness, and agriculture were already practiced in pesantren, but santri’s understanding of climate change, particularly adaptation and mitigation, remained limited. This gap informed the development of the Environmentally Friendly Islamic Digital Comic (Komik Digital Islam Ramah Lingkungan, KODIR), which integrates climate knowledge, santri’s ecological experiences, Islamic values, and visual communication. Through its participatory production, santri were involved in constructing and communicating ecological messages rather than merely receiving information. The study concludes that pesantren-based eco-literacy can develop toward digital eco-literacy by connecting climate knowledge, religious values, and participatory media production, offering a contextual form of ecological da‘wah for younger generations.
