The community-based climate village program (ProKlim) has strengthened the implementation of integrated adaptation and mitigation impact of climate change, reduction of greenhouse gases emission, and recognition of active community participation. This study aimed to analyze the activities in supporting ProKlim of Simurugul sub-village, the benefit of those activities, and the current status of carbon stock. This research used qualitative research and carbon stock estimation. The adaptation scope involved was controlling drought and landslides, enhancement of food security, and controlling of climate-related disease. The mitigation activities scope of waste and solid management, the use of new renewable energy, organic farming, enhancement in vegetation cover, and prevention and controlling of forest and land fire. The benefits of a community of ProKlim to the community were an enhancement of resilience in facing the climate variability and impact of climate change, improvement of quality of the live and socio-economic community, and reduction of greenhouse gases emission which known carbon stock (1,430.50 tons) in Simurugul sub-village. This showed a potential development strategy and further practice of ProKlim at the local level.

Tofu is a food product that comes from processed products (protein coagulation process) of soybeans. This home-based tofu industry, in its processing, can produce waste, namely solid waste (soybean dregs) and liquid waste. Handling of tofu liquid waste is not only a temporary treatment but needs to be done on an ongoing basis, one of which is by making valuable agricultural products having economic value. The methods for implementing this Community Self-Reliance Activity (KKM) include debriefing, team coordination, training, Liquid Organic Fertilizer (POC) application, mentoring and monitoring. The people involved were UKM Harjasari and KWT Ceria Mandiri Kayu Manis. The results of this activity indicate that community service in the form of assistance in using liquid tofu waste as a POC product can reduce environmental pollution and increase public knowledge about the proper use of natural resources. This can be seen from the increase in general understanding and its application, with an average increase of 62.28%.
