Aipiri Village in the eastern part of Manokwari District, West Papua, is one of the villages directly adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. This village is very vulnerable to the threat of sea-level rise. This study aims to determine the level of vulnerability and adaptation of the community at Aipiri village to climate change. Data were collected through a survey method with interview techniques and direct observation to obtain data on the level of vulnerability of the village to climate change. The results of this study indicated that sea-level rise is the biggest threat to the people of Aipiri village. In addition, when referring to the level of resilience, the pattern of community adaptation through community local wisdom and knowledge, the environmental infrastructure aspect is an adaptation solution that needs to be developed. Ecotourism areas are developed as a form of local wisdom in defending the area against climate change.
