Strategy for Strengthening Environmental Legal Policy to Face the Climate Crisis in Indonesia from the Perspective of Mitigation, Adaptation, and Ecological Sustainability

Abstract

The global climate crisis has become a real threat that affects various sectors of life throughout the world, including Indonesia. As a country with high biodiversity and a region vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, Indonesia faces primary challenges in dealing with the climate crisis. In this case, environmental legal policies play a crucial role in reducing the impacts of climate change and strengthening the resilience of ecosystems and communities. This analysis seeks to analyze the role of Indonesia's environmental legal policies in addressing the climate crisis, with a focus on national policies and the role of local governments in their implementation. The research method used is normative juridical, namely by analyzing applicable laws and regulations, such as the Environmental Law, the National Action Plan for Climate Change (RAN-PI), and other policies related to climate change in Indonesia. This investigation also examines various existing legal norms and their application in mitigating and adapting to climate change, including the challenges and obstacles faced in enforcing environmental law. Although existing legal policies show the Indonesian government's commitment to climate change, there are still various obstacles in their implementation related to law enforcement, coordination between institutions, and social and economic factors. The research is expected to provide insight into the effectiveness of existing legal policies and provide recommendations for improving environmental legal policies in the face of the increasingly pressing climate crisis.
