Wed, 18 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0700

Gender inequality is an issue that has long been debated in various fields, including women's access to environmental resources. This research was conducted by conducting a literature review of articles, journals, and other relevant publications. The literature review method was used to collect and analyze information from previous researchers on Gender Inequality in Women's Access and Environmental Resources. Based on some of these research references, it can be concluded that gender inequality in women's access to environmental resources is a real issue in various contexts. Measures to improve gender equality in access to environmental resources include strengthening the role of women in decision-making, social change, and inclusive policies and a gender-based approach in environmental program planning and implementation. Collective efforts from the government, civil society, and the private sector are needed to overcome gender inequality and achieve sustainable development that is just and sustainable.

The conversion of forest functions to oil palm plantations has often been carried out in Indonesia. Many factors motivate communities, individuals, and companies to do this. One of them is the economic factor. Investment in oil palm plantations is considered a promising investment and generates many profits. However, individuals or companies often need to pay more attention to ecological aspects and the impacts of the forest function's conversion. The consequences resulting from the transformation of forest functions will affect the environment in the short and long term. Forests that have many benefits and uses not only for humans but also for the habitat of animals and plants in them must be protected and preserved. The increasingly widespread conversion of forest functions results from fulfilling human desires and harming other living things, so the government is obliged to make an effort through prevention and mitigation so that the existence of forests and their sustainability are maintained and can continue to bring many benefits to living things.

Wed, 18 Oct 2023 00:00:00 +0700

Indonesia, as one of the countries with abundant natural resource potential, such as oil and gas, plays an essential role in the global energy landscape. As a Mining Authority (KP) stakeholder who collaborates with contractors through the oil and gas mining contract system, the government contributes to using oil and gas in various sectors, especially the industrial sector, as part of sustainable development efforts. Sustainable development with an environmental perspective is a conscious and planned effort that incorporates ecological aspects, including natural resources, into the development process to ensure the ability, well-being, and quality of life of current and future generations. The components of sustainable development include social, economic, and environmental aspects. The paradigm of sustainable economic development aims to achieve optimal production, improve the welfare of economic actors, and preserve the environment. In this paper, we will discuss the regulation of laws and technology for the management and utilization of oil and gas. Oil and gas resources in Indonesia require careful management and prioritization of the principles of sustainable development. The role of government through mining contracts and technological advances contributes to the optimization of oil and gas production. By integrating environmental considerations through technology into the development process and encouraging sustainable practices, Indonesia can ensure long-term resource availability, promote economic growth, and safeguard the well-being of current and future generations.
