This Community Service (PkM) program aims to provide assistance in financial recording and direct involvement in the production process at the Wisnu Batik SME. The main focus of the activity is to support the sustainability of micro-enterprises based on local culture, particularly through improved management and the preservation of traditional values. The activity was carried out for two months in the form of field work practice (PKL), using participatory observation methods, semi-structured interviews, and direct documentation. One of the main results of the activity was the implementation of a quarterly financial recording system based on SIINAS (National Industrial Information System), which has been proven to improve the accuracy and transparency in the preparation of business reports. Furthermore, the direct involvement of the interns in the traditional batik production process provided important insights into the production stages, the cultural values ​​contained, and the challenges faced in maintaining quality and continuity of production. Analysis of the cost of goods manufactured (COGS) and monthly revenues showed that the Wisnu Batik SME has great potential for sustainable development if managed with a more systematic and professional approach. The synergy between good financial management and production process efficiency is an important foundation in strengthening the competitiveness of SMEs in the midst of market competition. This activity also serves as concrete evidence that collaboration between the world of education and MSMEs can encourage positive transformation in micro-business management towards a more modern, measurable, and culturally value-based direction.

Climate change represents an urgent global crisis that demands immediate and collaborative action. In Indonesia, youth have emerged as crucial stakeholders in the implementation of climate change policies. This study explores the strategic role of young people in advancing climate action, focusing on their engagement through two major non-governmental organizations: WALHI (Wahana Lingkungan Hidup Indonesia) and Greenpeace Indonesia. Adopting a qualitative library research method, the study examines secondary sources, reports, and publications to assess how these organizations empower and mobilize youth in climate advocacy. The findings highlight that youth are not passive observers but active contributors to climate governance. Through educational campaigns, social media activism, public demonstrations, and grassroots initiatives, young individuals raise environmental awareness, promote sustainable practices, and exert social and political pressure on government institutions. Their participation fosters democratic engagement, enhances policy responsiveness, and encourages the inclusion of long-term environmental perspectives in national and regional development agendas. Furthermore, youth play a critical role in bridging scientific knowledge with community-based practices, often initiating innovative and context-sensitive solutions tailored to local environmental challenges. Their digital literacy and ability to build networks across diverse societal sectors amplify their effectiveness in shaping public discourse and influencing policy outcomes. This study concludes that empowering youth is fundamental to achieving meaningful and lasting climate action. Their involvement strengthens both mitigation and adaptation efforts, positioning them as key agents of change who are not only directly impacted by climate change but also committed to securing a more sustainable and just environmental future for Indonesia.
