Abstract
The paper aims to discuss the effects of communication and advisory services on community knowledge and actions to climate change in Citarum River Basin (CRB). Data about community knowledge on climate change were gathered through in-depth interviews, multi stakeholders’ dialogues, and rapid appraisal. Programs on community initiative to conserve environment were collected from 2012 to 2019. Printed media with messages on climate change and tips to reduce climate change effects were distributed to the community. Radio and television with similar messages were broadcasted. Data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results reveal that advisory services providers for climate change are the government, environmental cadres, community organization and private sector. Rapid appraisal results show that communities upstream and downstream have higher climate risks disaster than those in the middle stream. Communication and advisory services have changed community behavior, from lack of awareness to be more responsive to environment.
