Climate change is a critical issue in Indonesia with significant environmental and societal consequences. This research explores the impact of climate change in the context of ecological disputes and conflicts in Indonesia. Involving multidimensional analysis, this study investigates how climate change exacerbates tensions between natural resource utilization and environmental conservation. The results show that rising temperatures, changes in rainfall patterns, and rising sea levels significantly contribute to natural resource conflicts. A deeper understanding of these dynamics will enable the formulation of more effective policies to manage and prevent disputes while promoting environmental sustainability in the future. This study provides a local nuanced view of the global challenge of climate change and provides a basis for mitigation and adaptation efforts in Indonesia.

Adinda Virzilia Dwi Puteri — 2023-12-28

Climate change is a crucial issue that has been questioned year after year, with the entire spectrum of society and countries worldwide trying to find alternatives to combat climate change. In this research, a literature review of journals, articles, and other publications relevant to the topic raised in the study was conducted. The literature review method is used to collect and analyze information from previous research related to The Willow Project, a massive-scale oil drilling project in Alaska by ConocoPhillips that is very controversial. Based on research references, due to the impact it will have, it can cause climate change four times faster amid a critical world because it is experiencing global boiling. Of course, this project needs to be stopped, and the law is the only tool that can be used by utilizing the existence of international environmental law as referred to the principle of international environmental law that a country in using and exploiting natural resources must not harm other countries. Not a few NGOs have succeeded in mobilizing the masses to boycott the project and file a lawsuit so that The Willow Project can be stopped

GOOD PRINCIPLES GOVERNANCE IN SETTLEMENT OF LAND POLLUTION DISPUTES: LEGAL AND SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS

Siti Haryasih — 2023-12-28

This research aims to analyze the implementation of good principle governance in resolving land pollution disputes, both from juridical and sociological aspects. The research methods used are normative juridical and empirical juridical, with a qualitative approach. Primary data was obtained from in-depth interviews with parties involved in land pollution disputes in Bogor Regency, West Java, while secondary data was obtained from documents and literature studies. The research results show that the implementation of the principles is exemplary. Governance in resolving land pollution disputes is still not optimal because there are still several obstacles, such as inconsistencies between applicable laws and regulations, lack of participation and transparency from the parties, low capacity and accountability of law enforcement officials, and weak supervision and assessment from the community. Therefore, this research recommends several steps to improve the implementation of the excellent principle governance in resolving land pollution disputes, including harmonization and synchronization of related laws and regulations, strengthening mechanisms for participation and transparency of the parties, increasing the capacity and accountability of law enforcement officials, as well as empowering the role and function of the community in monitoring and assessment.
