Overview

In spite of its still being a developing country, Indonesia has demonstrated a firm commitment to preserving its wonderfully diverse environments for future generations. This commitment could be seen through the introduction of a second environmental legal framework, i.e., Law No. 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management (“Environmental Law”), as well as through the ratification of the 2015 Paris Agreement via the issuance of Law No. 16 of 2016 on the Ratification of the Paris Agreement to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
