Abstract

The climate crisis is becoming an increasingly urgent global challenge that profoundly impacts agriculture, ecosystems, and public health. According to the 2024 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, global temperatures have risen by 1.2°C since the pre-industrial era, and this warming is primarily driven by emissions from the energy sector, particularly the burning of fossil fuels. As one of the largest carbon-emitting countries, Indonesia remains heavily reliant on fossil fuels, especially coal, which accounts for around 60% of its electricity generation in 2024. Although Indonesia is endowed with significant renewable energy potential, various structural challenges, including ineffective policies and regulatory frameworks, hinder the solar, wind, and geothermal transition to clean Energy. The existing laws and regulations do not provide sufficient incentives for the development of renewable Energy, and bureaucratic hurdles, coordination issues among government agencies, and a lack of legal clarity on pricing and incentives further impede progress. This study aims to evaluate the adequacy of Indonesia's energy laws in supporting a clean and sustainable energy transition and to identify key legal barriers that need to be addressed. The findings are expected to contribute to policy recommendations that could strengthen Indonesia's legal framework, thus facilitating a more rapid and effective transition to a greener energy future.

Abstract

The accuracy of land use and management affects the watershed's or sub-watershed's health, especially upstream. The Lesti sub-watershed in Malang Regency is the upstream part of the Brantas watershed; their land use pattern is always associated with erosion rates, which impact sedimentation in the middle and downstream. When discussing erosion, the rate increase is generally influenced by erodibility, erosivity, length/gradient of the slope, and plant factors/conservation measures. Population pressure has not been discussed much, although the erosion rate affecting sedimentation in the Sengguruh Reservoir as an outlet for the Lesti Sub-watershed has much to do with the Population's activities. People's activity and choice of land use put pressure on the land, affecting the watershed's carrying capacity. Measuring the land's carrying capacity is usually known from the value of existing population pressure and its effect on vulnerability or Erosion Hazard Level (EHL). This study attempted to assess the relationship between erosion hazard levels and population pressure and determine conservation priority areas in the Lesti sub-watershed. This research method was carried out quantitatively, which involved calculating the analysis of population pressure and the EHL obtained spatially from the erosion rate of the Modified Universal Soil Loss Equation (MUSLE) and soil solum. The results showed a similar wedge between high population pressure and severe EHL. This Area is recommended as the most priority location for conservation policies in the Lesti sub-watershed.

Abstract

The application of environmental laws has a strategic role in ensuring sustainable land rights, especially amid increasing pressure on land resources due to urbanization, industrialization, and climate change. This study aims to analyze the role of environmental law in ensuring the sustainability of land management with a literature study approach. The method used involves a review of legal documents, national and international regulations, as well as relevant previous research results. The findings suggest that environmental law serves as a regulatory framework for regulating land use, protecting ecosystems, and preventing overexploitation. However, inconsistent implementation, overlapping regulations, and weak law enforcement are the main obstacles to ensuring sustainability. The analysis also shows the importance of integrating environmental law and land law to overcome land conflicts and ensure equitable access to land, especially for vulnerable communities. In conclusion, strengthening environmental law through regulatory harmonization, institutional capacity building, and wider public participation is needed to realize sustainable land rights. This research provides a theoretical basis for the development of more comprehensive policies in managing land resources in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

In carrying out its function as a financial protector in the future, the insurance business must be based on justice to create a healthy relationship between customers and insurance companies. Justice in the insurance business is the main foundation of a healthy and useful insurance industry in Indonesia, if there is no justice then public confidence can be disturbed and trust in the insurance business can be reduced due to the perception of injustice. Justice is very necessary because the low level of understanding of the Indonesian people about insurance products is the main cause of injustice in the insurance service business. This situation is because insurance agents who do not have integrity do not explain the contents of the policy transparently to prospective customers. Based on the above thoughts, the main problem is, first, is the application of the Indonesian insurance agreement justice standard in accordance with the theory of justice? Second, How is the Implementation of Theory in Overcoming Conflicts Between Insurance Companies and Customer Justice in Insurance Companies?

Abstract

The suboptimal management of sustainable water resources in Indonesia stems primarily from the misalignment between economic, social, and environmental development strategies. Rapid population growth, characterized by diverse demographic dynamics, has intensified demands for essential resources such as food, water, energy, housing, and infrastructure. However, natural systems operate within ecological limits, necessitating prudent resource governance. Water resource conservation serves as a strategic pathway to achieving sustainable development, supported by a myriad of regulations and policy frameworks. The core issue, however, is not a lack of regulatory instruments or financial allocations but rather fragmented and overlapping policies that undermine implementation effectiveness. Regulatory contradictions have led to “programmatic cannibalism,” where interventions compete rather than complement, diminishing the impact and coherence of conservation efforts. Sectoral fragmentation at the bureaucratic level reflects the disjointed nature of the regulatory environment itself. Moreover, watershed-based planning frameworks often fail to align with local government budgeting and planning mechanisms. This study synthesizes the landscape of legal and policy instruments governing water resource conservation across multiple sectors—including forestry, energy, agriculture, environment, spatial planning, and public works—at national and subnational levels. Using a qualitative literature review approach, the paper draws from policy documents, regulatory texts, and relevant international references. The findings highlight the urgency of regulatory harmonization, institutional integration, and multilevel governance readiness to support sustainable, coherent, and outcome-oriented water resource conservation strategies.

Abstract

Indonesia has great potential in salt production, especially in Cirebon Regency, West Java, thanks to its vast marine area. However, challenges such as low productivity, poor quality, and limited access to technology and capital hinder the development of the local salt industry. Most salt farmers still rely on traditional methods, which results in an imbalance between domestic market demand and production capacity. This research analyzes the regulation related to salt policy and its impact on the welfare of farmers in Waruduwur Village, Mundu Sub-district, Cirebon Regency, West Java Using a case study-based qualitative approach, this research explores the role of government policy in overcoming capital and technological barriers, such as the application of geomembranes. The results are expected to offer recommendations to achieve a balance between effective regulation and protection of farmers in order to improve their welfare, reduce import dependency, and strengthen the competitiveness of local salt in the national market.

Abstract

Cirebon's coastal communities face intensifying climate change impacts, such as sea level rise, coastal abrasion, and natural disasters, which threaten their socio-economic resilience. Environmental law policy should be the main instrument in directing the adaptation strategies of coastal communities. However, the implementation of this policy still faces various challenges, including overlapping regulations, weak law enforcement, and lack of community participation in the policy formulation process. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method to evaluate the effectiveness of environmental law policies in supporting the social adaptation of Cirebon's coastal communities. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with affected communities, government officials, and policy experts, as well as analysis of related legal documents. The results showed a gap between policies and factual conditions in the field, especially in inter-agency coordination, resource allocation, and community access to environmental justice. This study emphasizes the need for environmental law policy reform that is more adaptive, ecologically just, and oriented towards empowering coastal communities in the face of climate change.

Abstract

The phenomenon of increasing involvement of children in online gambling promotion raises a complex legal dilemma, especially regarding the balance between protecting children's rights and providing criminal accountability. Children who are still in the cognitive and emotional development stage are often involved in online gambling promotion without a full understanding of the long-term impacts, both for themselves and society. However, a criminal law approach that prioritizes repressive sanctions without considering rehabilitative aspects risks damaging children's futures and exacerbating social problems. This study examines the effectiveness of the juvenile justice system in Indonesia in handling online gambling promotion cases. It assesses the urgency of implementing a restorative approach as a fairer and more recovery-oriented alternative. The restorative approach emphasizes the restoration of relationships between perpetrators, victims, and the community so as to avoid stigmatization and provide opportunities for children to improve their behavior. The results of this study emphasize that the legal system must prioritize the principle of rehabilitation rather than punishment alone in order to ensure child protection while preventing the recurrence of criminal acts. Thus, the application of restorative justice in cases of children involved in online gambling promotion is a strategic step to create a more humane and future-oriented justice system.

Abstract

Exploitation of children in prostitution is not only a serious human rights violation, but also a reflection of systemic failure to create effective social and legal protection. This phenomenon continues to grow amid economic pressures, patriarchal norms, and weak law enforcement. Although the government has ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child and passed the Child Protection Law, cases of child exploitation in prostitution are still rampant due to the weak integration between regulation and implementation. This study aims to evaluate the extent to which the Indonesian legal system is able to respond to the challenges of child exploitation in prostitution through a human rights perspective. Using normative legal methods and a critical approach, this study analyzes various legal policies, secondary data, and literature that discuss the root causes of child exploitation. This study also evaluates the role of state institutions and non-state actors in creating a comprehensive child protection system. The results of the study indicate that child exploitation in prostitution is not only influenced by weak legal institutions, but also by systemic socio-economic inequality. Minimal law enforcement, a culture of impunity, and stigmatization of victims worsen the situation. Furthermore, the absence of a structured rehabilitation program indicates that child protection in Indonesia has not been directed at restoring the basic rights of victims. This article recommends comprehensive reforms, including economic empowerment for vulnerable families, community education to eliminate stigma, and strengthening law enforcement and regulatory oversight institutions.

Abstract

The urgency of this research is to find certainty regarding the duration of the lease and the position of foreign citizens in the transfer of lease rights. Therefore, the relevant issues discussed are the civil responsibilities of the party transferring the lease rights concerning objects that are still under lease, and the legal protection that should be provided to good-faith tenants. The research method used is a normative legal method with legislative, analytical, and case study approaches, and the analysis of the legal materials used is an analysis based on content. The research results show that foreign nationals who transfer lease rights without a valid legal basis are civilly liable for the losses incurred, whether through compensation mechanisms, lawsuits for breach of contract, unlawful acts, or annulment of documents. Meanwhile, a good faith tenant, who obtains rights legally and is unaware of any legal defects, is entitled to legal protection based on the principles of justice and legal certainty. Therefore, it is recommended that notaries can design the lease period and residence permits for the foreign nationals, and in case of disputes, judges are expected to provide legal certainty and protection for good faith tenants.
