THE ROLE OF LAW AND GOVERNMENT POLICY IN SUPPORTING GREEN TECHNOLOGY: CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS

Abstract

Green technology, or "green technology," is a scientific and technical approach aimed at enhancing resource efficiency, reducing environmental impact, and supporting ecosystem sustainability. The primary focus of green technology is to decrease carbon emissions and pollution, as well as to minimize negative impacts on the environment and human health. Global environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity loss, air and water pollution, and water resource crises require mitigation and adaptation efforts involving international cooperation and commitment from various sectors.

In Indonesia, the implementation of green technology faces significant challenges, including bureaucracy, regulatory complexity, and a lack of coordination among government agencies. Policies and regulations such as the Energy Law and the Environmental Protection Law, as well as various presidential and ministerial decrees, provide a legal framework to support green technology. However, issues related to licensing, inadequate incentives, and ineffective coordination remain barriers to the adoption of green technology.

This research aims to explore the role of law and government policy in Indonesia in supporting the development and implementation of green technology. The research method used is normative legal research with a descriptive-analytical approach and qualitative data analysis. The findings indicate that a clear and measurable legal and policy framework, adequate incentives, and efficient inter-agency coordination are crucial for supporting green technology. Enhanced compliance and law enforcement are also key factors in ensuring the success of green technology and achieving national sustainability goals.

With detailed policies, adequate incentives, and improved inter-agency coordination, it is hoped that the development of green technology can be accelerated and optimized. This research provides insights into how legal and policy frameworks can influence the success of green technology in Indonesia and contribute to achieving national environmental sustainability goals.
