Abstract

The climate change that has occurred in the last decade has seriously impacted food availability and price pressures from the macro side, as well as the sustainability of farming activities and the welfare of farmers from the micro side. One form of climate change is crop failure; thus, to anticipate crop failure, farming households implement coping strategies to survive well. This study aimed to analyse the coping strategies used by farm households to deal with crop failures. The data used in this study were sourced from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) conducted in 2007 and 2014. There were 3338 samples of farming households in a panel data format that could be used in the analysis. The analytical method used in this study uses a fixed effects approach at the household and rural levels to avoid potential bias from endogeneity and heterogeneity problems. The results showed that the coping strategies adopted by farming households were more likely to sell livestock and household assets and increase the number and frequency of loans. Reducing consumption has not been statistically proven as a coping strategy chosen by farming households facing crop failure.

Abstract

This study analyzes the potential of Indonesia's technological approach to control subsidized fuels. To achieve its objective, the study employs both quantitative and qualitative analyses. Quantitatively, the research seeks to estimate the potential value of inefficiently targeted fuel subsidies and assess the potential fiscal savings achievable through diverse fuel restriction measures. In this case, the study carried out four simulations to assess the impact of fuel consumption controls. Meanwhile, the qualitative analysis aims to delve into details of Indonesia's technological infrastructure used to control the consumption of subsidized fuels. Furthermore, the study investigates the key challenges and successes associated with Indonesia's technological approach to control subsidized fuels. This study contributes insights into achieving fairness in fuel regulatory policies while calculating fiscal savings and the potential of technology-driven solutions. While promising, ongoing challenges of MyPertamina necessitate further improvements for optimal functionality in assignment fuels (JBKP) distribution. This research informs discussions on equitable and technologically-driven energy policy solutions in the context of achieving global climate goals and local economic dynamics.

Abstract

This paper questions two fundamental political foundations for climate action: that there is but one common humanity and that global warming is the most critical and immediate threat to the survival of humankind. It further argues that the philosophical foundations of climate action lack depth and precision. While ‘climate justice’ appears center-stage to climate action, its conceptual basis remains weak because it has failed to integrate the enormous work done on justice, human rights, equality, governance, democracy and civil society since the mid 19th century. In fact, ‘climate justice’ only makes sense as a part of an overall framework of equality rather than something sui generis. On a political campaign level, this paper argues that too much attention has been paid to global conferences such as the series of COPs culminating in the most recent COP 28 in Dubai. Much less has been done on charting how the dialogue surrounding climate action today is affected by the emergence of global corporations, rapid urbanization, growth of middle-class consumption and the growth of megacities especially in Asia. The paper suggests that it would be more fruitful to focus on the local/community and regional levels to promote familiar technologies and conservation practices rather than on global conferences and their associated statements.

Abstract

Since the last few years, environmental issues related to global warming and increasing earth surface temperatures have had an influence on various fields. This environmental issue also affects the micro and macro climate. Architecturally, design can respond to changes in microclimate with passive design and active design. Passive design has long been applied to vernacular architecture, namely responding to local conditions in buildings. Meanwhile, active design is related to the latest technology and developments, such as energy-saving technology, as well as the use of natural elements as energy sources. This research uses quantitative methods. Primary data was collected using a questionnaire to determine the tendency of residents' perceptions of passive design. The analysis of this research is descriptive statistics, based on the answers of 35 respondents who live in simple houses in Depok, West Java, Indonesia. The research results showed that respondents' tendency towards passive design was shown in several things, namely: additional elements of the building at the front (canopy) can reduce heat and create shadow areas, the location and size of openings can support natural lighting and ventilation. Openings can be doors, windows, grilles, rosters and other elements. The existence of open space at the front and back of the house can reduce heat and cool the microclimate.

Abstract

Aims:The study focused on the difficulties facing the Burkitu community forest in Southeast Ethiopia's Gasera District Bale Zone in terms of conservation. The Burkitu Community Forest got its name because the land is owned by a legally recognized group of individuals known as Burkitu. The woodland is 18.62 hectares in size and borders Ganda-Wotechimo and Gasera 01 on both sides. Materials & Methods: Questionnaires, interviews, and focus group discussions were used to gather data. SPSS statistical software was used to evaluate the observed and collected data and produced frequency and percentage charts. Findings:Burkitu Community Forest faces numerous conservation issues, such as poor governance, deforestation, unclear boundaries, low local community awareness, and strained relationships between community forest members and local officials. Conclusion:Financial assistance, raising local community awareness, drawing clear boundaries, maintaining unity between community forest members and the leader, and limiting the leader's lack of commitment are all crucial control measures to protect Burkitu community forest.

Abstract

This paper investigates key sectors that can drive sustainable development. Generally, obtaining sustainable development in identifying key sectors for development based on their output multiplier and CO2 emission elasticity. However, one aspect that forgotten is social inclusivity. The present paper has identified seven key sectors with high output multipliers, low CO2 emissions, and try to simulate the potential impact on income distribution. By simulating investment shocks in these sectors, the present authors try to assess their impact on inclusivity, emphasizing the importance of balancing economic growth, environmental protection, and income distribution that meaning social justice within the sustainable development framework. While prioritizing green economy sectors as key drivers can be beneficial, however, there is potential negative impacts on income distribution. Hence, it is recommended that the policy drives green economy sectors by promoting sustainable growth, resource use efficiency, and social inclusivity. This aligns with the core principles of a green economy, ensuring a future that is prosperous, equitable, and environmentally sound.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between the sustainable development goals (SDGs) and corporate sustainability (CS) through a business and human rights (BHR) lens. It affirms established guidance that companies must show respect for human rights. As a new factor, the study considers how corporations recognise civil rights. The authors examine annual reports and other material of five Fortune Global 500 multinational enterprises (MNEs) from five sectors to establish their relationship with UNGPs, SDGs and civil rights. They also review policies and reports to determine the MNEs management system(s) (MS) and system certifications. While the sample is too small to make correlations, the authors find that the sample MNEs do recognise civil rights under the guise of human rights. They appear to address civil rights issues that trend globally, not necessarily the problems that occur on the national or local level. Although the sample countries contribute to SDGs, this engagement seems connected to the MNEs business strategy. Their SDGs involvement can change from one fiscal year to the next, depending on the business strategy. In the study, the authors focus on corporate management systems (MSs) and seek to identify elements of a good MS. They recommend that companies expose their MSs to audit and certification processes to ensure that respect for civil and human rights are embedded in their systems.

Abstract

SDGs 2030 have at least two goals that strongly converged to gender equality of pay, gender equality (Goal 5), and decent work and economic growth (Goal 8). Marital status argued to have significant contribution in gender inequality of pay and the root of female wage penalty. The argument associated with traditional family division of labour, where men responsible for family breadwinner and women for family caregiver. We examine this argument in Indonesia experiences with additional feature of multiple breadwinner models in the family. Utilizing Indonesian National Labour Force Survey of 2015 of more than 150.000 workers, our twofold regression compatible Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition analysis confirmed the existence of statistically significant gender wage gap even when controlling for the human capital investment, family division of labour, institutional instrument and discrimination. Our findings suggest that married women tend to take a double roles than married men, being family breadwinner as well as family caregiver. In that double roles model, wage rate are highest among working women and marriage wage penalty died out. Unfortunately gender wage gap and wage discrimination persisted. While the role of minimum wage as current nominal institutional labour market instrument still trivial, other factors must also be addressed toward gender equality of pay and more efficient labour market.

Abstract

Political economy concerns with how actual policies deviate from economic optimality. This study evaluates Indonesia’s progresses toward sustainable development goals (SDGs) from the political economy viewpoint. The authors discuss Indonesia’s Voluntary National Reviews (VNRs) and critically analyse its COVID-19 pandemic control policy given the policy’s importance to SDG 3 (good health and well-being) and SDG 8 (decent work and economic growth). Indonesia chooses to opt-out strict public health restrictions because of the government’s preoccupation with economic growth, the large number of workers relying on daily income and its state of democratic consolidation. This results in Indonesia’s failure to control the pandemic and to avert economic recession. Indonesia correctly anticipates global vaccine nationalism and secures adequate vaccine supplies primarily from China. Vaccination becomes Indonesia’s key pandemic strategy. This study shows how indispensable partnerships (SDG 17) are for achieving SDGs, presenting the case of the Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation’s work in forest certification and sustainable forest management.
