The escalating climate crisis has exposed structural weaknesses in the national and international legal systems, particularly in the protection of environmental rights as part of human rights. The tension between economic globalization and ecological preservation shows that environmental degradation is not only a scientific issue, but also a legal issue. This study examines how environmental law can be reconstructed to integrate the principles of environmental justice and intergenerational justice within the framework of human rights. This study critically reviews the environmental regulatory regime in Indonesia in the context of global commitments such as the Paris Agreement, by identifying challenges in law enforcement, institutional coordination, and the integration of ethical norms into binding legal standards. In addition, this study emphasizes the need for a paradigm shift in the law from anthropocentric to ecocentric, which recognizes the intrinsic rights of nature. Through normative research methods with comparative and legislative approaches, this research proposes a responsive and equitable environmental governance model, which combines state sovereignty, human dignity, and environmental sustainability as a reflection of the evolution of the role of law in the anthropocentric era.
