Sangurejo Hamlet in Wonokerto Village, Turi Sub-district, Sleman, is currently undergoing field verification for the ProKlim Lestari (Sustainable Climate Village Program). This assessment, conducted on Thursday (August 20, 2026), aims to confirm that the data uploaded to the National Registry System accurately reflects the conditions on the ground.

Field verification combines the assessment of potential Lestari 2024 programs, clarifying the data uploaded to the National Registry System with the actual conditions in Sangurejo Hamlet, to see if these are real actions or just administrative.

Muhammad Chairul Huda, the head of ProKlim Sangurejo, explained that the field verification is a crucial part of evaluating candidates for the Lestari program. "Field verification combines the assessment of potential Lestari 2024 programs, clarifying the data uploaded to the National Registry System with the actual conditions in Sangurejo Hamlet, to see if these are real actions or just administrative," he stated.

The verification process focuses on three key areas: adaptation actions, mitigation efforts, and institutional strengthening. Huda stressed that sustainability is paramount in the ProKlim program. "Maintaining the environment is not just about seeking awards; that's just a bonus. We must be truly committed to preserving the environment," he said, adding that a well-maintained environment yields natural benefits for the community, including economic improvements.

Sleman Deputy Regent Danang Maharsa expressed his hope that Sangurejo Hamlet will continue its environmental programs even after the assessment. "We hope Sangurejo Hamlet doesn't just participate for the competition, but that after this, it can provide economic benefits for MSMEs and environmental benefits. The Lestari program serves as a catalyst," Maharsa remarked.

Koko Wijanarko from the Directorate of Climate Change Adaptation at the Ministry of Environment echoed this sentiment, stating that the Lestari predicate encourages the continuation of community actions and the sharing of knowledge. "Lestari actually encourages them to keep going, for actions to continue, and for them to have knowledge to share with other locations," Wijanarko explained. He emphasized that ProKlim is a platform for mutual cooperation, and achieving the Lestari status brings a responsibility to educate other areas.
