Environmental Law Policy in Indonesia: Challenges and Sustainable Justice

Abstract Environmental legal policy is a legal framework that aims to protect and manage the environment to ensure the sustainability of natural resources and the quality of human life. This policy includes various legal instruments, such as laws, government regulations, and regional regulations, which are designed to regulate human activities that have an impact on the environment. Through a preventive approach and strict law enforcement, environmental legal policy seeks to reduce pollution, protect biodiversity, and promote the sustainable use of natural resources. In Indonesia, environmental legal policy is also influenced by developments in international law, such as the global climate agreement and the biodiversity convention that Indonesia has ratified. The research method used is normative legal research. That in international regulations requires countries to strengthen the regulation and implementation of environmental policies at the national and local levels. However, challenges in law enforcement, low public awareness, and conflicts of interest between economic development and environmental conservation, often become obstacles to the effectiveness of this policy. Therefore, synergy is needed between the government, society, and the private sector in optimizing the implementation of fair and sustainable environmental legal policies.
