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. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. View source
