Abstract

The utilization of production forest resources is still oriented towards timber production and land use conflicts, often causing conflicts of interest between local communities and Perhutani as the manager of state-owned forests. The existing environmental conditions are less conducive. This phenomenon also occurs in the Muria Forest Area, so an appropriate management strategy is needed through tenure mapping and an understanding of the socio-cultural dynamics of the local community. Data is based on the results of observations, documentation, interviews, and FGDs. Data and information are analyzed using GIS and SWOT. Data processing and tenure mapping results show a trend of fluctuating decline in the Muria Forest area, especially in the outermost areas of the Muria Forest Area, which are close to settlements. Changes in land use that vary each year can provide an overview of the dynamics of community conditions and the discretion of implementing regulations. Based on the IFAS and EFAS weight and ranking analysis, the internal factor value is positive 0.75, and the external factor is positive 0.58. The results of IFAS and EFAS show that the right strategy is the aggressive type in quadrant 1 (growth-oriented strategy). This study found eleven strategies with two main approaches: first, a strategy with an approach to associative human resources in forest management to accommodate various conflicts that arise; second, an innovative strategy that focuses on the sustainability of forest resources.

Abstract

This article studies the incorporation of environmental concerns in the political campaigns of women candidates within the context of local Indonesian politics. The impacts of environmental problems in coast areas such as Semarang, Demak, Pekalongan, Kendeng mountains, and Wadas Purworejo are serious and pose an overwhelming challenge for women's exacerbated socio-domestic duties. The research is conducted by a normative legal approach through using statutory and implementation frameworks focusing on environmental issues concerning women’s political campaigns in Indonesian local politics, employing content analysis of authoritative books, peer-reviewed journals, on legal advocacy and sustainable development. The findings of the study highlight the stark urban-rural divide where urban candidates were more proactive in pushing sustainable development frameworks. In addition, women who managed to penetrate the legislative milieu exhibited different degrees of engagement with environmental policies; those framed as environmentalists tended to have higher proposed regulation rates. The research shows that most women do not, in campaign rhetoric, grasp the growing public discourse on contestation over policy frameworks at multiple levels—national, regional, and local—and legislative governance approaches that integrate ecological issues and sustainability as a central concern at local and global levels. To address these gaps, the authors argue women politicians need women’s targeted capacity building on environmental legislation that could enhance advocacy for sustainable development at the local level.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyse the urgency of establishing independent institutions in environmental management and protection in Indonesia, especially in dealing with illegal logging and the preservation of endangered animal habitats. Using normative juridical methods as well as conceptual and comparative approaches, this study highlights the weaknesses of the OSS-RBA-based licensing system as well as the weak law enforcement against the exploitation of natural resources. The results of the study show that gaps in the licensing system open opportunities for illegal logging practices that increasingly threaten the sustainability of the ecosystem and cause a decline in the population of endangered animals. Compared to other developed countries, Indonesia does not yet have an independent institution specifically supervising licensing and law enforcement in the environmental sector. This study confirms that policies in Brazil can provide a deterrent effect for illegal logging perpetrators by applying strict sanctions in the form of large fines, asset confiscation, and prison sentences of up to 10 years. The establishment of independent institutions in Indonesia is urgently needed to ensure strict supervision and the application of strict sanctions to protect ecosystems and prevent unsustainable exploitation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the new paradigm of recognizing the environment as a legal subject within Indonesia's legal system and its implications for environmental law enforcement. Driven by the increasingly complex environmental crisis caused by natural resource exploitation, environmental degradation, and climate change, this paradigm introduces an eco-centric approach and the theory of biocentric justice. The concept acknowledges the environment as a legal entity with intrinsic rights to exist, develop, and be restored when damaged. The research employs a normative approach with qualitative analysis methods and comparative studies of countries such as Ecuador, Bolivia, New Zealand and India which have implemented the recognition of the environment as a legal subject. The findings indicate that recognizing the environment as a legal subject in Indonesia requires comprehensive legal reforms, including constitutional amendments, the enactment of specific laws on environmental rights, strengthening law enforcement institutions, and empowering communities. This recognition is expected to enhance environmental law enforcement, establish ecological justice, and promote sustainable development. Therefore, this paradigm not only serves as a solution to the environmental crisis but also reflects Indonesia's commitment to Pancasila values and the sustainability of future generations.

Abstract

Cloud Seeding is a recent scientific discovery on weather modification and alteration that aims to enhance rainfall in addressing drought and climate change issues. However, despite this potent discovery there are several legal issues yet to be addressed in the usage of cloud seeding. Hence, the study examines the legal issue arising from cloud seeding. The study adopts a doctrinal method of study, relying on primary and secondary research material, such as laws, journal articles, internet articles, and other relevant research material. The data obtained were analyzed using a descriptive and analytical method. The study found that cloud seeding is a potential means of curtailing the incidence of drought and desertification caused by climate change arising from harmful industrial and human activities. However, the study also found that several legal issues may arise in utilising cloud seeding, which includes a lack of comprehensive international law regulating cloud Seeding, the inability of the existing laws to address transboundary issues, liability, impose due compliance and sanction of wrong utilising cloud seeding that adversely alter the natural state of the environment. Concerning this the study concludes and recommends that there is a need for a unified global legal framework to ensure the responsible use of cloud seeding and effective regulation.

Abstract

The development of green energy is a global priority in facing the challenges of climate change, where green hydrogen has emerged as a renewable energy that can be a sustainable solution. This article discusses the comparison of green hydrogen management in ASEAN countries from an investment law perspective. The main focus of this study is to analyze the regulations, incentives, and legal barriers faced by investors in the green hydrogen sector in various ASEAN member countries. The research method used involves a qualitative approach with a literature study and analysis of laws and regulations related to renewable energy investment. The results of the study show that there are policy disparities among ASEAN countries in supporting green hydrogen investment. Singapore and Malaysia, for example, have adopted more progressive policies, including fiscal incentives and ease of licensing, while other countries still face complex regulatory challenges and lack of supporting infrastructure. This article concludes that harmonization of the investment legal framework in ASEAN is needed to attract more investment in the green hydrogen sector. In addition, strong regional collaboration can accelerate the development of green hydrogen technology and strengthen energy security in the region.
