This paper explores Indonesia’s efforts in aligning its national legal frameworks with global sustainable development objectives, particularly in the context of environmental protection. Indonesia faces a complex challenge: balancing rapid industrialization with environmental sustainability, as highlighted by frequent natural disasters. Through a review of key environmental laws and international agreements, including the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement, the paper assesses Indonesia’s legal commitment to sustainable development. It also examines the role of national regulations in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in addressing climate change. The paper concludes that while Indonesia has made significant progress in lawmaking, substantial challenges remain in terms of effective implementation.
