Abstract

This study discusses environmental law regulations in Indonesia as regulated in Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management (UUPPLH) and Law Number 6 of 2023 concerning Job Creation, which regulate administrative, civil, and criminal sanctions for perpetrators of environmental pollution. Although it has strict legal provisions, its implementation and enforcement still face various challenges, such as weak supervision, the dominance of administrative sanctions over criminal sanctions, and difficulties in the process of proving environmental crimes. Compared to regulations in other countries, Indonesia still needs to strengthen the law enforcement mechanism to be more effective in providing a deterrent effect on perpetrators of pollution. This study highlights the role of law enforcement officers, the weakness of inter-agency coordination, and the importance of synergy between the government, law enforcement agencies, non-governmental organizations, and the community in increasing the effectiveness of environmental law enforcement. With a more transparent and accountable approach, it is hoped that environmental law regulations in Indonesia can run more optimally in protecting and managing the environment sustainably.
