Abstract

In line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Climate Action, the aim of this research is to foster collective community awareness of climate change through participatory discussions on 3R-based waste management (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) in SWK Ketintang, Surabaya. This approach was chosen to encourage active involvement of citizens in understanding and addressing increasingly urgent environmental problems. The methods used include organizing discussions, in-depth interviews, and participatory observations. The hope is that community participation can increase their understanding and awareness of the importance of good waste management and its impact on climate change. The results of the research show that with the implementation of participatory discussions, the community’s understanding of the 3R concept and the importance of its application in everyday life has improved. In addition, collective awareness of the negative impacts of poor waste management on the environment and global climate increased. Active participation in discussions helped residents feel more responsible and instrumental in environmental conservation efforts. The conclusion of this study is that the participatory approach in environmental education is effective in fostering collective awareness and changing community behavior patterns in waste management. Recommendations are given to continue and develop similar programs in other areas as a sustainable climate change mitigation effort. It is also hoped that this research can be a model for other environmental initiatives in increasing community participation and building collective awareness of environmental issues.
