Abstract

Environmental issues have become an international focus that requires attention and real action from various actors, not only the state, but also all levels of society. This Community Service has provided further socialization on the role of teenagers or students as agents of change to better understand global environmental issues through the concept of Citizen Diplomacy, which took place at SMA IT Raudhatul Ulum Sakatiga. The methods used in this activity were a lecture (presentation) and discussion. Furthermore, participants' understanding was evaluated using a questionnaire administered at the beginning (pre) and at the end (post) of the test, and the results were analyzed using the Normalized Gain Score (N-Gain). The results showed that the participants in the activity were enthusiastic and effective, gaining a deeper understanding of the concept of Citizen Diplomacy, with an N-Gain score for level of understanding of 78.92. Therefore, it is hoped that teenagers or students will increasingly realize the importance of these global environmental issues.
