Meanwhile, Petukangan Selatan Urban Village Head, Thia Mutiara, admitted residents have carried out mitigation and adaptation related to Proklim well through mutual cooperation and synergy with environmental administrators, sub-districts, urban villages, and related Regional Apparatus Organizations (OPD).

"If both RWs win the competition, it means we have three RWs with Madya Climate Village certificate," she stated.
