Abstract

Background: Indonesia has committed to limiting global temperature rise to below 2°C through ENDC, impacting emission-intensive sectors like FMCG. PT X faces transition risks from carbon surcharges and emission reductions to meet ENDC targets. This study analyzes these risks, showing the company must reduce emissions to avoid additional costs and comply with ENDC. Methods: This paper uses qualitative and quantitative methods to assess transition risks for FMCG companies, focusing on carbon emission reduction policies. The quantitative analysis involves calculating climate financial risks through scenario analysis, while the qualitative approach analyzes regulations and sustainability reports. The study uses a bottom-up approach to assess emissions in Scope 1 and 2 and applies sensitivity analysis to evaluate the financial impact of emission reduction policies. Findings: The scenario and sensitivity analysis shows that if PT X conducts operational activities in accordance with Business as Usual (BAU) for a 1.6% reduction in emissions, the company will experience an emission deficit (emissions above the ENDC target), which raises additional carbon costs of USD 21,199.91 tons CO2eq per year by the company. Meanwhile, in the scenario analysis and sensitivity analysis, the minimum level the company must reduce its emissions by 1.9% to get an emission surplus (emissions below the ENDC target). Conclusion: To reduce the impact of transition risk, companies can invest in the development of environmentally friendly technologies, and switch to renewable energy. The sale of carbon credits from surplus emissions can also be used by companies to cover carbon costs and mitigation actions. Novelty/Originality of This Study: This study lies in its application of climate financial risk analysis to assess the transition risks faced by Indonesia’s FMCG industry, providing a quantitative evaluation of emission reduction thresholds and their financial implications under the Enhanced Nationally Determined Contribution (ENDC) framework.

Abstract

Background: This study explores the shift from anthropocentrism to ecocentrism in the context of protected-area prioritization in Indonesia, highlighting the influence of deep ecology and biocentrism on human-environment relationships. The primary objective of the study is to analyze the impact of deep ecology and biocentrism on conservation efforts in Indonesia, offering insights into the challenges of integrating these philosophies into environmental policymaking for long-term biodiversity conservation. Methods: This study employs a literature review methodology, analyzing existing research, philosophical frameworks, and case studies related to anthropocentrism, biocentrism, and ecocentrism in the context of environmental ethics and protected-area management. The review includes works on deep ecology, environmental ethics, and Indonesia’s specific environmental policies, drawing from both global and local perspectives to examine how these philosophies shape conservation strategies. Findings: Anthropocentrism, which views nature primarily as a resource for human use, has historically shaped environmental policies, often resulting in environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. In contrast, ecocentrism and biocentrism, which recognize the intrinsic value of all life forms, advocate for a more ethical and sustainable approach to conservation. As one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, Indonesia faces significant challenges in balancing development with biodiversity conservation, particularly in light of pressures from deforestation, agriculture, and urbanization. Conclusion: By adopting ecocentric values, Indonesia can ensure that its protected areas are managed in a way that promotes the sustainability of both human and natural systems. Novelty/Originality of This Study: This study introduces a novel approach by integrating deep ecology and biocentrism into protected-area prioritization in Indonesia. It offers fresh insights into how these ethical frameworks can reshape conservation policies for long-term biodiversity sustainability.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia, as one of the largest coal producers and exporters, faces negative impacts of mining such as water quality degradation, landscape changes, and social conflicts. Although the government has various regulations from MEMR and MoEF, the implementation of mine reclamation is often suboptimal, hampering ecological and biodiversity recovery. This study examines environmental regulations, especially related to mine closure issued by the two ministries. Methods: This study uses a literature study method by analyzing mining closure regulations in Indonesia, including the Decree of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources No. 7/2014, the Decree of the Minister of Environment No. 3/2014, and the Decree of the Minister of Finance No. P.60/Menhut-II/2009, and their relation to ecological restoration. The analysis was conducted using the content analysis method to extract conclusions from related documents, focusing on the criteria for the success of reclamation and mine closure. Findings: There are differences in mine closure regulations with ecological restoration criteria, which show that the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation No. 7/2014 has the highest suitability with a score of 54.55%. This analysis reveals that the Minister of Energy and Mineral Resources Regulation emphasizes stakeholder consultation, rehabilitation planning, and monitoring, while the Minister of Forestry Regulation No. 60/2009 focuses more on vegetation formation and erosion control, and the Minister of Environment Regulation No. 3/2014 provides guidelines for biodiversity management and fauna recolonization. conclusion: This study shows that the current reclamation and post-mining regulations from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources, Ministry of Forestry, and Ministry of Environment require coordination to create regulations that ensure sustainable mining in Indonesia. Novelty/Originality of This Study: The novelty of this study lies in its critical analysis of regulatory gaps, highlighting the need for synchronized policies to ensure effective ecological restoration in the mine closure phase.

Abstract

Background: Amidst the pressures of modernization, the local wisdom of indigenous communities offers a relevant model for sustainability. This study deeply examines the integrated socio-ecological system in the Cireundeu Indigenous Village, which has successfully maintained ecological balance through ancestral traditions. Methods: Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through literature review, in-depth interviews with a customary leader, and participatory observation. Findings: The results indicate that the resilience of the Cireundeu system is supported by three interconnected pillars: (1) a customary forest zoning system (leuweung larangan, tutupan, baladahan) as a functional conservation practice; food adaptation based on cassava (Rasi) as a foundation for food sovereignty; and a mechanism for transmitting Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) through the Surasa dialogue forum and customary rituals. Conclusion: The analysis concludes that these pillars are not separate practices but are holistically interconnected within a socio-ecological system. The sustainability of this system is underpinned by a web of positive feedback loops between spiritual beliefs, social institutions, and tangible ecological outcomes, offering a potent counter-narrative to fragmented modern development paradigms. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this article lies in its holistic analysis of how interconnected socio-ecological practices in Cireundeu Indigenous Village—spanning forest zoning, cassava-based food sovereignty, and knowledge transmission through rituals—form a sustainable resilience model that counters fragmented modern development paradigms.

Abstract

Background: Chrysanthemums are ornamental and floricultural plants that have an important role in Indonesia because they are used for religious ceremonies, decorations, and even health therapy. Today, chrysanthemums are considered a trendsetter in the cut flower industry in Indonesia because of their advantages: rich in color, size, and shape, durable, and have a pleasant aroma. However, the increase in production has not been accompanied by a significant increase in productivity. The expansion of chrysanthemum cultivation in Bandung Regency shows a downward trend, although there has been a slight increase lately. The potential of chrysanthemums depends on the suitability of the growing area. Based on this, it is necessary to carry out management and analysis related to the suitability of chrysanthemum cultivation land in Bandung Regency, West Java. The purpose of this study is to identify and evaluate land that is suitable for chrysanthemum cultivation in Bandung Regency. Methods: This research study was carried out using Geographic Information System (GIS) analysis with a weighted overlay method using ArcGIS Pro. Findings:  Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that the area suitable for chrysanthemum cultivation is at an altitude of 0-1500 meters above sea level (masl) with a slope of 0-16%, in the soil types of Andosol and Gleisol, and with a soil surface temperature between 17-30ºC. The land suitable for chrysanthemum cultivation in Bandung Regency is approximately 40,192.23 hectares or around 23.03% of the area of Bandung Regency.  less than the area that is classified as "moderately appropriate" and "non-appropriate". Conclusion: The study concludes that Bandung Regency has only a small area suitable for chrysanthemum cultivation, highlighting the need for further refinement of the suitability model. Novelty/Originality of this article: Thus, the suitability of the chrysanthemum cultivation area in Bandung Regency is reflected in the suitability matrix with a percentage of 23.03%.

Abstract

Background: Climate change, that is marked by improvement of earth’s surface temperature (global warming), is caused by human activities that increase the emission of greenhouse gasses to the atmosphere. These gases include CO2, N20, CH4, SF6, PFC, and HFC. Ignition of hydrocarbonic compounds such as fossil fuels (coal, petrol fuel, and natural gas) or biomass (wood) are human activity that could cause emission of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere and, further, global climate change. Methods: This study involved field-based observations with laboratory-based sample analysis. Materials used for this study consisted of 30 teak (Tectona grandis L. f.) consisting of 6 tree samples in each age group of 1 to 5 year old tree located within the KPH Balapulang area. Findings: Biomass root to shoot ratio based on main stem is about 0.1155-0.5048 (Average 0.2296), while based to surface biomass is about 0.1090-0.4317 (Average 0.1983). Carbon mass root to shoot ratio based on main stem is about 0.1159-0.5068 (Average 0.2320), while based to surface carbon mass is about 0.1111-0.4381 (Average 0.2030). Average expansion factor of biomass for age level I-V is 1.15, while average expansion factor of carbon mass for age level I-V is 1.13. Conclusion: The result of this study indicating that those ratios and factors quantify the proportion of root versus aboveground biomass or carbon and the multiplication of stem biomass or carbon to estimate total tree values. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides the quantitative data on root-to-shoot ratios, biomass and carbon mass expansion factors for teak (Tectona grandis L. f.) across different age classes.
