Abstract

The summit in Glasgow is a big agenda for overcoming climate problems. As the owner of a large developing market in the world, Indonesia is also trying to reduce emissions produced by industry to achieve net zero emissions by 2060. Indonesia implements conventional and Sharia banking. Sharia banking is considered a means of achieving the goal of net zero emissions by 2060 because of environmentally friendly Sharia principles. The Green Sharia Banking concept is applied to solving the problems being researched. The research method is a literature review using various reading materials such as books and journals. Green Banking or Green Banking refers to financial investment for environmental programs in the context of balancing monetary chronological progress, stability of the natural environment, and protecting the ecology to achieve sustainable development. The concept of Green Sharia Banking and the goal of net zero emissions in 2060 in Indonesia are closely related because both initiatives have the same goal of reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable development. This concept is formulated in six pilot schemes to achieve net zero emissions by 2060. Collaboration with customers, suppliers, partners, and other stakeholders is needed so that Green Sharia Banking can create collective efforts to achieve carbon neutrality and promote sustainable development.

Abstract

Global food security has been tested over the last three years due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ukrainian war, and the economic recession. State food authorities must take strategic steps to overcome a potential food crisis that could have multifaceted impacts. Food diversification with sorghum can be one solution to overcome the potential global food crisis in Indonesia and the world. One of the diversified sorghum products that can be consumed globally is bread. This study aims to analyze the advantages of the idea of superior Indonesian sorghum bread made from local varieties of sorghum in terms of agriculture, global health, and international trade economics, along with presenting a global product commercialization strategy to build the sustainable benefits of Indonesian sorghum for global food security. The study in this writing used a qualitative paradigm with a rationalistic approach. The study results show that sorghum bread has a high potential demand as a nutritional requirement for global society. The development of Nusantara sorghum bread has 2 types of products: plain bread and sandwiches made from local sorghum. The aim of local sorghum as a means of food diversification on a global scale through the concept of Indonesian sorghum bread can bring new profits to the country's economy and open up new business opportunities for the community. However, it is not easy to transform consumer behavior by consuming new carbohydrates. Hence, the selection of ingredients, improving food quality and nutrition, and policy efforts to introduce local varieties of sorghum bread products must be carried out at the local level.

Abstract

Indonesia is the second largest contributor of plastic waste in the world. In Indonesia, plastic waste is the second most common type after food waste. The increase in plastic waste is likely due to people's increasingly practical lifestyles and consumption patterns. Plastic and most other inorganic waste cannot be completely broken down by nature or decomposing microorganisms. The most significant contributors to waste in Indonesia are households, business centers, and traditional markets. This shows that households are important in discussing waste, both as producers and as agents of change in the future. One effort to reduce existing plastic waste is by making eco-bricks. Ecobricks are Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) bottles filled with inorganic waste such as plastic, foam, packaging, and plastic. The benefits of eco-bricks are very diverse, such as reducing the amount of plastic waste, replacing bricks or building blocks, making various types of furniture, improving the community's economy, beautifying the environment, and using it in open spaces such as creating parks or buildings in the long term.

Abstract

Food estate development is one of ten National Strategic Programs (PSN) for 2020-2024 carried out by the government to restore the economy due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The government, through the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR), stated that the food estate project was carried out on a potential land area of 165,000 ha, which is an alluvial area, not peat, on former Peat Land Project (PLG) land in Central Kalimantan. PLG was a government policy during the New Order era, with the opening of one million hectares of PLG to address agricultural development's challenges to achieve self-sufficiency. In 1998, this program was discontinued because it was considered unsuccessful in its planning and implementation, which did not pay enough attention to environmental impacts. This study examines government policy in implementing the food estate program on former PLG land in Central Kalimantan. The study covers environmental and socio-economic aspects that are affected by the food estate program on former PLG land. The research method applies a qualitative approach by searching literature reviews on implementing food estate projects on former PLG land in Central Kalimantan. The results show that government policy through the Minister of Environment and Forestry Regulation Number 24 of 2020 regulates two schemes for providing forest areas for the food estate program, namely through schemes for changing the designation of forest areas and establishing forest areas for food security. Both schemes could accelerate environmental exploitation and deforestation in Central Kalimantan, which previously experienced failure in the Million Hectare PLG project. In the socio-economic aspect, food estate development must involve the surrounding community, and it is necessary to improve the quality of farmers, which includes 1) increasing knowledge, skills, and community assistance, 2) facilitating the opening of marketing networks, and 3) establishing institutions between stakeholders at the local and central levels. Implementing the food estate program in Indonesia requires an operational strategy using strong sustainability theory to minimize environmental, economic, and social impacts so that program failure does not occur as in previous policies.

Abstract

Background: Amid the challenges of climate change and the escalating global environmental crisis, the concept of a green economy has become crucial in achieving sustainable development. A green economy aims to generate economic value without harming the environment while improving social well-being. In this context, green finance plays a vital role in supporting investments in environmentally friendly projects and sustainable businesses. Green financing refers to funds allocated for projects and programs aimed at environmental protection and fostering sustainable economic growth. Method: This article explores research on green financing, including international observations on the challenges of environmental financing and proposed solutions for green finance. The challenges of environmental financing in Indonesia are also analysed from a legal perspective. Furthermore, this research aims to examine how the banking sector participates in supporting green project financing in Indonesia. Findings: Findings indicate that funding for green projects can significantly impact the environment, society, and climate change mitigation efforts. However, numerous issues remain, such as a lack of understanding regarding financing environmentally friendly projects, varying definitions of green financing, insufficient coordination in policy frameworks related to environmental financing, misaligned policies, and a lack of incentives for investors and financial institutions interested in climate change mitigation. The objective of green financing is to provide funding for projects or developments that balance economic, social, and environmental considerations. Conclusion: The Indonesian government has issued regulations on the implementation of sustainable finance for commercial banks to support green financing. These regulations are also applicable to financial service institutions, issuers, and publicly listed companies. The study's findings suggest that Bank Indonesia and the Financial Services Authority (OJK) have regulations that influence lending, credit, and investment policies. Indonesia's legal framework for environmentally friendly financing appears promising, supported by the collaborative efforts of the business sector and the government in advancing sustainable finance. Novelty/Originality of this Article: This study contributes a legal and institutional perspective on green financing in Indonesia by analyzing regulatory support and challenges, offering a distinctive national lens often underrepresented in global green finance literature.

Abstract

Background: Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a crucial role in Indonesia’s economic development, particularly in urban areas like Banjarmasin. However, their ability to compete in the digital era remains limited due to low adoption of digital marketing strategies. This study aims to examine the potential use of Google Sites as a user-friendly, accessible, and cost-effective web-based digital marketing platform for MSMEs in Banjarmasin. Prior studies have shown that the lack of technical skills and digital literacy are major barriers for MSMEs in leveraging more complex technologies. Google Sites, as part of the Google Workspace ecosystem, offers simplified tools for website creation that can address these barriers. Method: This research employed a descriptive qualitative approach through literature review. Data was collected from previous studies, government reports, and Google’s official documentation to analyze the suitability of Google Sites features for MSME digital marketing needs. Findings: The findings indicate that Google Sites provides essential functionalities—such as customizable templates, media integration, mobile responsiveness, and analytics support—that can significantly enhance MSMEs' online visibility and consumer engagement. These features align with the theoretical expectations regarding the adoption of low-barrier digital tools in small-scale enterprises. Conclusion: In conclusion, Google Sites is a feasible and innovative solution for improving the competitiveness of MSMEs in the digital economy. This study offers a contextual analysis of Google Sites specifically for MSMEs in Banjarmasin, which has not been explored extensively in prior literature. Novelty/Oriignality of this Article: The novelty of this study lies in providing a focused evaluation of Google Sites as a digital marketing tool tailored to the specific challenges of MSMEs in Banjarmasin. Unlike prior research, it connects technical platform features with local business needs using a literature-based, non-interventionist approach.

Abstract

Background:  The mining sector in Indonesia has long been an important pillar of the country's economy. The region Sulawesi, Maluku and Papua is a region rich in resource nature such as minerals and energy, has contributed significantly to the national economy, especially through the export of mining products. However, along with the growth of the mining sector, various challenges have emerged, not only related to economic aspects, but also environmental and social impacts that threaten the sustainability of development. Natural resource curse theory : this theory states that countries or regions that depend on natural resources natural resources, such as mining, often experience slow economic growth or negative impacts. socio-environmental imbalance, so that its contribution to sustainable development become limited. Methods: Study This use two approach, First that is counting index sustainable development (IPB), and second, using the panel data regression method, covering 10 provinces in the Sulawesi, Maluku and Papua regions. Excluding the three new provinces in the Papua region, namely the Province South Papua, Central Papua, and Mountainous Papua. Findings: The results of the IPB calculations for each province in Sulawesi, Maluku and Papua regions using the development dimension. In general, the regions Papua and parts of Sulawesi showed high IPB achievements in 2024. However, there are disparities which is quite striking between provinces. The highest IPB figure is West Papua and the lowest is Maluku Province. Conclusion: Fiscal transfers of natural resources (SDA) and population have a significant influence. towards IPB, supported by theories and research that show the importance of resource management nature and population dynamics in sustainable development. As for the GRDP of the mining sector found to have no significant effect. The cause may be due to the impact of the natural resource curse and lack of practice mining sustainable. Matter this is what hinder his contribution to IPB. For to support sustainable development, better management of fiscal transfers of natural resources is needed, application of environmentally friendly technology in the mining sector, improving the quality of human resources and infrastructure to manage demographic pressures. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research provides novelty in terms of geographical context specifically in the regions of Sulawesi, Maluku, and Papua. Although This area is rich in natural resources, the implementation of sustainable development policies in this area still limited, especially due to infrastructure constraints, human resources, and differences in social conditions and culture.

Abstract

Background: The rapid growth of the coffee industry has increased consumption and the generation of spent coffee grounds waste, which poses environmental risks while offering economic potential. Although previous studies have discussed the hazards and benefits of this waste, comprehensive research on coffee shop entrepreneurs’ readiness to adopt environmentally friendly behavior remains limited. This study aims to examine their readiness by analyzing the influence of awareness, knowledge, attitude, intention, and actual behavior, based on the Theory of Reasoned Action. Methods: A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was used. Data were collected in 2022 from 200 coffee shop entrepreneurs in Jakarta and Bekasi, selected as central coffee business areas. Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis was conducted, including outer model, goodness-of-fit, and inner model tests. Findings: The results showed that environmental awareness had no significant direct or indirect effect on environmentally friendly behavior. In contrast, knowledge significantly influenced the formation of positive attitudes, which mediated the relationship with intention and actual behavior. These results underscore the need to distinguish between awareness and knowledge, as only the latter demonstrated a meaningful impact on behavior formation. Well-informed attitudes enhanced behavioral intention, which in turn significantly influenced actual pro-environmental behavior. These findings validate the Theory of Reasoned Action and extend its applicability in explaining pro-environmental behavior adoption in waste-management-based entrepreneurship, particularly in coffee shop businesses. Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of environmental and entrepreneurial education regarding both the risks and economic potential of spent coffee grounds. Government support is needed to promote education, build enabling systems, and provide infrastructure to foster environmentally responsible behavior. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study offers a novel contribution by examining coffee shop entrepreneurs' environmental readiness using the Theory of Reasoned Action and a PLS-SEM approach. Unlike prior studies that focused on the risks and benefits of spent coffee grounds, this research explores the behavioral pathway from awareness and knowledge to actual pro-environmental practices, highlighting the distinct roles of both.

Abstract

Background: The transition to a circular economy requires an approach that is not only concept-based but also practical and community-empowering. This study aims to design a community-based sustainable entrepreneurship (ecopreneurship) empowerment model as a strategy for transitioning to a circular economy, with case studies of various environmentally conscious communities in Indonesia. Method: The research approach employs a qualitative case study method, comprising the following stages: identifying the problems faced by the community, formulating solutions based on circular economy principles, and validating these solutions through consultation with relevant government agencies, as well as comparing them with best practices and policies in other countries. Data collection techniques include in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies. Findings: The research results indicate that the primary challenges faced by communities are limited market access and inadequate business capital for developing recycling-based entrepreneurial activities. The primary solution to this problem is to convert the business model into a cooperative or Badan Usaha Milik Desa (BUMDes), allowing it to access business capital from the government through collaboration and institutional support. These findings confirm that a community-based empowerment approach with policy validation has the potential to accelerate the adoption of an inclusive and sustainable circular economy. Conclusion: This study shows that a community-based ecopreneurship model can be an effective strategy in the transition to a circular economy. Institutional transformation into cooperatives or BUMDes opens up broader access to funding and institutional support. Novelty/Originality of the Article: This article combines a circular economy approach with applicable community-based institutional solutions. The policy validation conducted strengthens the position of this model as a reference for inclusive and contextual transition strategies.
