Abstract. This research focuses on community organizing efforts to create awareness about environmental issues related to climate change. The researcher employed the Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodology. Several activities were carried out as part of the climate change adaptation program, including climate change adaptation campaigns, environmental stabilization, group capacity building, and advocacy strengthening. Climate change adaptation campaigns were conducted through discussion forum media, poster media, and warning board media. Environmental stabilization efforts were undertaken through communal work to restore irrigation networks, the creation of dynamic filters, and innovations in eco-paving plastic blocks. Group capacity building activities involved the formation of pro-climate response groups and legal recognition efforts. The final activities included advocacy for several policies, including group recognition, policy support leading to becoming a climate village, and policies related to structures built on irrigation networks. As a result of this community organizing, there was an increase in the community's understanding and awareness of climate change adaptation. This awareness triggered the strengthening of Dukuh Grojogan's environment to become more adaptive in addressing the impacts of climate change.
