Abstract

Background: Bali, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, has experienced a surge in visitor numbers following the COVID-19 pandemic. While tourism has significantly contributed to the recovery of the local economy, overtourism has emerged as a phenomenon that is causing various environmental and social problems. One of the issues caused by tourism in Bali is the increase in land and property rental prices, as well as the transformation and utilisation of traditional spaces for commercial purposes. This shift not only displaces local communities but also threatens the cultural heritage that makes Bali unique, prompting calls for more sustainable tourism practices that prioritize both the environment and the well-being of residents. Methods: The scope of this research is Bali, especially in the south Bali region, which has been reported to experience overtourism after recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic. This research uses secondary data from published research and other sources, as well as interviews with policymakers, local residents, and related institutions. Findings: This paper aims to analyse environmental degradation and social problems caused by overtourism, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. The decline in environmental quality has raised concerns among local communities and conservation activists. Furthermore, the social fabric of the region has been strained, as the increasing number of visitors has contributed to increased competition for resources and changed the traditional way of life for many residents. Conclusion: Overtourism in Bali post-pandemic has led to environmental degradation and social disruptions. Sustainable tourism practices are needed to balance economic benefits with the preservation of local communities and cultural heritage. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study highlights the impact of overtourism in Bali after the COVID-19 pandemic, integrating environmental and social perspectives. By using secondary data and interviews with key stakeholders, it provides insights into the urgent need for sustainable tourism strategies.

Abstract

Background: Indonesia's efforts to transition to low-carbon energy are one part of rescaling environmental governance through a process of decentralization, and many actors at the governance level are involved in the transition to low-carbon energy. This research discusses the direction of energy supply policy in Indonesia in the future and its relationship with interested parties, especially the central government. Methods: This study uses literature study and document analysis with stakeholder mapping and PESTEL analysis to examine the energy transition policy in Indonesia, especially the electricity sector. The main focus is on the political aspect by considering economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal factors. Findings: The results show that regulatory and institutional areas have been restricted during the energy plan-making process, all centralized under central government control making it impossible for local action to take place. However, how sub-national actors can harness this space is influenced by many variables, such as political-economic structures, public participation, and power relations. Conclusion: It can increase understanding of the energy transition at every level and offer useful policy advice to engage all interested parties at national and local levels. The openness of the energy transition should be reformed and reduced from the non-substantial political influence for the matter of all Indonesian people. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides a unique perspective on Indonesia's energy transition by critically examining the role of governance decentralization in shaping policy directions. Unlike previous studies that focus solely on technological or economic aspects, this research integrates political, social, and environmental dimensions through stakeholder mapping and PESTEL analysis.

Abstract

Background: Climate change has become a major challenge of the 21st century, driving a global transition toward low-carbon energy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with a target of Net Zero Emissions (NZE) by 2050. The mining sector, particularly coal, faces significant transition risks, such as declining coal demand, rising operational costs, and social and environmental impacts due to increasingly stringent emission reduction policies. PT ABC, as a major coal producer in Indonesia, must adapt by shifting to renewable energy, reducing its dependence on coal, and managing transition risks while seizing opportunities for energy diversification. Methods: This study analyzes the transition risks faced by PT ABC, focusing on the impact of global climate policies, fluctuations in international carbon prices, and the shift toward renewable energy on the company’s financial performance. Findings: The analysis shows that the company needs to reduce emissions by approximately 993,478 tons of CO₂eq per year to meet Indonesia’s emission reduction targets in the Enhanced Nationally Determined Contributions (ENDC), with an additional annual cost of around IDR 29.8 billion at a carbon price of IDR 30,000 per ton. If carbon prices increase, costs could reach IDR 140.5 billion or IDR 198.7 billion by 2030. This study identifies four main transition risks: government policy changes, carbon price fluctuations, declining coal demand, and the implementation of a carbon tax. Conclusion: To mitigate financial and operational impacts, PT ABC needs to adopt environmentally friendly technologies, diversify investments in renewable energy, and improve energy efficiency. These risk mitigation efforts are expected to reduce negative impacts and support the company’s operational sustainability amid the global energy transition. Novelty/Originality of this article: By quantifying emission reduction costs and potential carbon price impacts, it offers insights into strategic measures for coal companies adapting to the low-carbon transition.

Abstract

Background: Wildlife conservation is rarely portrayed in Indonesian cinema. Petualangan Sherina 2 (2023) brings attention to orangutan conservation and critiques the exploitation of wild animals by influencers. Despite ongoing online discourse and legal protections, public awareness remains low. This study explores how the film represents these issues through anthropocentric and biocentric perspectives. Methods: Using qualitative content analysis, key scenes, characters, and songs are examined to identify ecological values. Audience perception is assessed through sentiment data from Google Trends and social media posts on X (formerly Twitter). Findings: The film presents strong anthropocentric and biocentric messages. However, public interest peaked at the film’s release and quickly declined. Online responses focused more on nostalgia and entertainment than environmental themes. Conclusion: Petualangan Sherina 2 delivers a strong conservation message by blending entertainment and education. However, audience engagement remains limited, highlighting the need for ongoing media efforts. Nostalgia and cultural storytelling enhance the film's impact on biodiversity awareness. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study uniquely combines film analysis with digital sentiment tracking to evaluate environmental messaging in Indonesian popular cinema.
