Abstract

Greater human population raises the needs for development in every nation. Unfortunately, development programs often cause pollution and environmental damages. To address this issue, a new paradigm namely sustainable development should be applied. The implementation of sustainable development requires enforcement of environmental law and government policies. Sustainable development aims at balancing economic interests and environmental conservation to avoid negative impacts on future generations. In general, the government has determined three policies in the environmental sector; preemptive, preventive, and proactive policies. This qualitative research explains the role of law and policies in the implementation of sustainable development programs in Indonesia. The results of this research show the goal of sustainable development is to explore the natural resources to improve the quality of human life, without compromising the welfare of future human generations.
