Abstract

The issue of environmental protection has become a significant concern in international relations, with numerous countries striving to preserve the environment through various initiatives. One such initiative is the conduct of international cooperation, which is implemented through a special program on the environment. This study seeks to ascertain the dynamics of the cooperation between Indonesia and Norway on environmental matters, with a particular focus on the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD+) programme, which operated from 2017 to 2021. The objective of this initiative, which falls under the umbrella of environmental cooperation, is the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from deforestation and forest degradation. The REDD+ program is a funding mechanism designed to support initiatives aimed at mitigating greenhouse gas emissions resulting from deforestation and forest degradation. The methodology employed in this research entails the utilization of qualitative research techniques, namely descriptive analysis, to generate insights from the data collected. This study's theoretical approach is informed by the context of international cooperation, particularly the historical bilateral relationship between Indonesia and Norway. The results of this research indicate the implementation of cooperation between Indonesia and Norway in the environmental sector through the REDD + program between the years 2017 and 2021, which was met with a number of significant challenges. These included issues related to the protection of forests, delays in fulfilling cooperation requirements, and disagreements with indigenous peoples. Additionally, the study identifies the problem of the implementation of Result Based Payments by Norway and the termination of Indonesia-Norway REDD+ cooperation.

Abstract

Structural Legal Aid is an advocacy approach that not only focuses on individual defense but also seeks to address the structural roots of social and legal inequality. Within the sociocultural framework of West Sumatra, characterized by the Nagari system and customary communities, the Padang Legal Aid Institute adopts this approach in handling structural cases that reflect systemic injustice. This research aims to analyze the forms of Structural Legal Aid implementation by the Padang Legal Aid Institute and to identify the opportunities and challenges that affect its sustainability. Using a juridical-empirical method, this study is based on an inventory of data comprising the 2024 Annual Report of the Padang Legal Aid Institute, in-depth interviews with the Director and the Structural Legal Aid Division of the Padang Legal Aid Institute, as well as an examination of relevant legislation, legal literature, and scholarly journals. The research findings indicate that the implementation of Structural Legal Aid is carried out through an integration of litigation and non-litigation strategies that create an advocacy ecosystem bridging judicial processes and community movements. Opportunities for strengthening Structural Legal Aid arise from social capital, national advocacy networks, and the presence of paralegals at the nagari level, while the main obstacles include limited funding, the criminalization of human rights defenders, and weak policy support. This study contributes to the development of a contextual model of structural legal aid within Indonesia’s socio-legal framework and provides both conceptual and empirical insights for formulating community-based legal aid policies supported by the state
