The research aims to analyze the efforts of the local government of Palu City in developing Adiwiyata school policies. The results of this study indicate that Adiwiyata is a program that aims to realize school citizens who are responsible for efforts to protect and manage the environment in harmony with the realization of increased awareness of the environment. There are several obstacles in the process of implementing the Adiwiyata program, especially for elementary and junior high schools in the Palu City, such as a number of schools that are unable to participate due to the lack of policy support from the local government, which has an impact on the lack of schools capable and willing to participate in the Adiwiyata program. The local government of Palu City has no policy in supporting each school to participate in the Adiwiyata program. In order to succeed the development of the Adiwiyata program, the role of the local government of the hammer city are: 1) compiling a road map for the development of the Adiwiyata school model in Palu City; 2) building cooperation between related agencies namely education and the Environment; 3) strengthening the institutional structure in each school; 4) providing incentives for schools that have succeeded in getting the Adiwiyata award.
