Abstract

Indonesia's energy transition law remains fragmented and incoherent in supporting sustainability and the transition to a climate-just energy system. Despite increasing commitments to renewable energy, the absence of binding legal instruments, overlapping sectoral regulations, and weak public participation have led to legal uncertainty and institutional fragmentation. This study proposes a normative legal model to strengthen renewable energy governance through the precautionary principle and a just transition. Using normative juridical methods and legal, conceptual, and comparative approaches, the study analyzes Indonesian legal instruments and compares them with those of several ASEAN and Global South jurisdictions. The results indicate the absence of an integrated climate-energy governance framework that guarantees regulatory coherence, rights-based participation, and environmental protection. Therefore, it is recommended that a Renewable Energy Law be established based on climate justice and human rights, supported by cross-sectoral harmonization and mandatory sustainability impact assessments. This study emphasizes that law must function as a transformative instrument towards social and environmental justice and contribute theoretically and practically through an integrative legal model relevant to developing countries in the Global South.
