Abstract

Background: The issues of climate change and global environmental degradation demand collaboration between the government and society, including religious institutions. In Indonesia, the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) has issued several environmental fatwas affirming the moral responsibility of Muslims towards nature. However, most previous research has focused on theological aspects and has not addressed how these fatwas are integrated into public policy, particularly in the strategy towards Net Zero Emissions by 2060. This research gap highlights the need for studies linking religious values to national environmental governance. This study aims to analyze the role of MUI environmental fatwas (No. 04/2014, No. 41/2014, and No. 86/2023) in supporting the government's strategy to achieve Net Zero Emissions, and to explain the model for integrating Islamic ecotheology with national climate policy. Methods: The method used is a qualitative literature review, examining fatwa documents, government regulations (Presidential Regulation No. 98/2021, Indonesia's National Development Planning Agency), and international academic literature on faith-based environmental governance. Findings: The research findings indicate that fatwas function in three ways: (1) providing moral legitimacy to environmental policies; (2) encouraging social participation through networks of Islamic boarding schools, mosques, and Islamic organizations; and (3) strengthening public policies with religious ethical values. However, their effectiveness is still limited by the lack of implementation mechanisms, financial support, and institutional incentives. Conclusion: This research broadens the understanding of Islamic ecotheology as the ethical basis for environmental policies, while also providing practical recommendations for the government to involve religious institutions in transition strategies towards low-carbon and sustainable development. Novelty/Originality of this article: The environmental fatwas issued by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) serve as a moral legitimacy for public policy toward achieving Net Zero Emission 2060, while the novelty of this research lies in integrating Islamic ecotheology with national climate policy within a co-governance framework.

Abstract

Background: The Indonesian Constitution and labor laws guarantee the right to work and a decent livelihood, yet these provisions face serious challenges in the Society 5.0 era where artificial intelligence, automation, and other digital technologies disrupt labor markets at a scale that outpaces legal adaptation. Previous studies have identified fragmented regulations concerning termination of employment, limited training mechanisms, and the absence of fiscal instruments to address automation’s social impact, but legal protections remain inadequate and reactive. This study aims to analyze the weaknesses of Indonesian labor law in mitigating automation-driven layoffs and to propose a comprehensive reform framework. Methods: Using normative legal research with statute, case, and conceptual approaches, supported by primary legal sources (such as the Constitution and Employment Law), secondary sources (expert analyses and journals), and tertiary materials (dictionaries and encyclopedias), data were collected through bibliographic studies and analyzed qualitatively through grammatical, systematic, and comparative interpretations. Findings: The findings show that Indonesian labor law is ill-prepared to anticipate mass layoffs, competency mismatches, and discrimination risks from AI-based recruitment, necessitating a holistic reform model. Conclusion: As a response, this study introduces, a four-pillar framework that integrates the strengthening of labor policies to provide legal certainty, National Talent Mapping (an AI-based system to profile and align workforce competencies with industry needs), Mandatory Reskilling programs to equip workers with adaptive and competitive skills, and a Targeted Automation Tax as a fiscal mechanism to control automation adoption and fund social protection for affected workers. Novelty/originality of this article: AERISTA thus positions workers not as passive victims of disruption but as active participants in labor transformation, ensuring inclusivity, social justice, and sustainability in employment law.

Abstract

Background: The Mataloko Geothermal Power Plant in Ngada Regency, East Nusa Tenggara, exemplifies this tension, facing strong resistance from local communities and the Catholic Church despite technical potential. Since the late 1990s, the project has experienced repeated failures, causing environmental degradation, water contamination, agricultural decline, and health impacts from hydrogen sulfide exposure. Church involvement transforms this into a value-based conflict requiring ethical sensitivity. While environmental mediation is recognized as the most relevant conflict resolution mechanism in Indonesia, its effectiveness depends on government sensitivity to local social and religious contexts. Methods: This qualitative research employs systematic literature review analyzing the conflict through Johan Galtung's Conflict Theory (violence triangle), Timothy Coombs' Situational Crisis Communication Theory (crisis attribution), and Parsons' Structural-Functional Theory (AGIL paradigm). Data synthesis from academic literature, policy documents, and reports identifies conflict patterns and mediation failures.  Findings: The conflict manifests fundamental contradictions between national development paradigms and local realities, including geological incompatibility, conflicts between state ownership and indigenous cosmology (mori watu mori tana), and asymmetric power relations. Government communication has been defensive rather than accommodative as required for high-responsibility crises, with transparency claims contradicted by guerrilla-style approaches and document manipulation. Mediation failed due to lack of structural independence when the provincial government formed teams involving conflicting parties. AGIL analysis reveals systemic dysfunction: adaptation failure to local conditions, contradictory goal attainment, integration breakdown, and cosmological value clashes. Conclusion: Effective environmental mediation requires transformative approaches emphasizing structural independence, forensic audits, local cosmology recognition, full accountability, and strengthened institutional capacity, demanding political will to reorient extractive paradigms toward sustainable alternatives. Novelty/Originality of this article: This research provides the first comprehensive theoretical integration specifically for geothermal conflicts involving religious institutions in Indonesia, developing a practical justice-oriented framework addressing power asymmetries, indigenous epistemologies, and prophetic witness roles in environmental governance.

Abstract

Background: The present scholarly inquiry examines collaborative governance in flood disaster management in Bengkulu Province, Indonesia, where recurrent hydrometeorological floods generate multidimensional consequences for communities, public services, infrastructure, health, livelihoods, and the environment. Rather than treating floods solely as natural hazards, the inquiry positions flood management as a governance challenge that requires coordinated action across institutions, sectors, and levels of society.  Methods: Using a qualitative approach based on document analysis, the research draws on policy documents, regulations, government reports, National Agency for Disaster Counterm National Agency for Disaster Counterm and Regional Agency for Disaster Management publications, media coverage, and relevant scholarly articles. The analysis is guided by Ansell and Gash’s collaborative governance framework, with attention to starting conditions, institutional design, facilitative leadership, and collaborative processes. Findings: The findings indicate that collaborative practices have begun to emerge in Bengkulu’s flood management, particularly during emergency response. Local governments, Regional Agency for Disaster Management, regional apparatus organizations, sub-district and village officials, volunteers, community groups, media actors, and other stakeholders participate in rapid assessment, evacuation, logistical distribution, temporary shelters, evacuation tents, and mobile public kitchens. However, collaboration remains predominantly reactive, operational, and incident-based. Preventive collaboration in mitigation, preparedness, risk reduction, and post-disaster recovery is still limited by uneven institutional capacity, fragmented information systems, overlapping roles, and weak community involvement in decision-making. Conclusion: The article argues that flood governance in Bengkulu must move from reactive coordination toward preventive, adaptive, and sustainable collaboration involving government agencies, technical institutions, volunteers, media, and communities, while embedding disaster risk reduction into regional development planning systems. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this inquiry lies in its governance-oriented reading of flood management in Bengkulu, which links recurring flood impacts with the maturity of collaborative governance arrangements rather than merely describing emergency response activities.
