Abstract

Industrial pollution is a pressing environmental challenge of our time. It has profoundly impacted ecosystems, human health, and quality of life. This study delves into the realms of legal responsibility and environmental justice in the context of pollution stemming from industrial activities. The research aim is to identify and analyze effective legal and policy approaches to handle and tackle this issue. The research method employed is a literature review, scouring for references pertinent to the research context. It used secondary data, which are data available to the public. Data were obtained using industrial pollution as the main keyword, in addition to legal and environmental responsibilities. The findings underscore not only the significance of stringent law enforcement but also highlight the pivotal and empowering role of community participation in the decision-making process. The industry is called upon to demonstrate transparency and accountability. The research further underscores the need for a comprehensive and collaborative approach involving multiple disciplines and sectors to devise sustainable solutions that safeguard the environment while fostering economic growth.
