Abstract

Indonesia has many environmental problems, especially those related to mining. It becomes essential to provide environmental education to the younger generation. However, the environmental education curriculum has not been explicitly found in the body of formal education in Indonesia. The study area is in Gunungkidul Regency, Indonesia where the limestone mining industry has expanded in almost all areas. The purpose of this study is to assess the environmental impacts of limestone mining activities and align the possible integration of environmental education in the study area. To gather data about the environmental impacts of limestone mining activities, a desktop study, field investigation, and interviews with local communities were conducted. Analysis of the Indonesian curriculum and interviews with elementary school teachers were conducted to align the possible integration of environmental education. The environmental impacts of limestone mining activities in the study area include air pollution, water contamination, drought, soil erosion, and road damage. We provide some suggestions for learning materials including an Introduction to environmentally friendly mining activities (Science subjects, grade 4, thematic 3), an Introduction to air pollution impacts in the mining area on human breathing (Science subjects, grade 5, thematic 2), and Introduction about mining activities impacts on the air, water, and soil (Science subjects, grade 5, thematic 8). It is recommended that teachers not only teach theory but also practice and environmental observation.

Abstract

This study examines how Indonesian mining companies incorporate climate action within their corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategies, with a particular focus on their contributions to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13. Using qualitative content analysis of ten publicly available CSR and sustainability reports, the study identifies recurring themes in corporate disclosures, including operational activities, environmental performance data, target-setting, and collaborative initiatives. The findings reveal both progress and gaps in aligning mining practices with national and international climate objectives. Four thematic areas emerge, including (1) operational decarbonization efforts that increasingly combine low-carbon technologies with nature-based solutions (NbS), although their effectiveness is rarely assessed through standardized indicators; (2) responsibility framing and measurable targets that show greater alignment with frameworks such as the Paris Agreement and Indonesia’s Nationally Determined Contributions, yet governance and assurance mechanisms remain underdeveloped, raising concerns of potential greenwashing; (3) while disclosure of environmental data has improved, comparability across firms is constrained by inconsistent adoption of metrics and limited integration of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA); and (4) climate-related risks are widely acknowledged, with firms outlining resilience strategies and engaging in multi-stakeholder partnerships to enhance adaptive capacity. Overall, Indonesian mining companies demonstrate a growing recognition of their role in climate action. However, advancing their contribution to SDG 13 requires systematic evaluation of NbS, stronger ESG governance and accountability, broader institutionalization of LCA, and deeper stakeholder engagement. These improvements are essential to ensure CSR initiatives deliver substantive, measurable, and socially inclusive climate outcomes.

Abstract

Gunungkidul Regency, one of Indonesia's karst regions, frequently experiences droughts. This study aims to investigate the causes of drought disasters and provide adaptation strategies for disasters that may occur near karst areas in Gunungkidul Regency. We used Google Scholar to identify drought causes on the study site. The next stage is making appropriate adaptation strategies using a qualitative and comparative analysis technique. The three main components that cause drought disasters in Gunungkidul Regency include climate characteristics, hydrogeological characteristics, and anthropogenic factors. Some proposed adaptation strategies to address the impacts of drought disasters include planting crops with low water requirements, adopting conservation agriculture and utilizing organic farming, applying structural adaptation strategies, developing agroforestry, giving farmers financial assistance, paying compensation to drought-affected families, distributing knowledge about drought adaptation strategies, reducing family food demand, suggesting seasonal migration, and reducing livestock. Working with multiple stakeholders is essential to putting these adaptation strategies into action.
