Overview

Law No. 11 of 2020 on Job Creation (“Job-Creation Law”) has resulted in sweeping changes being made to many of Indonesia’s prevailing legal frameworks, be they large or small in scope. This transformation is also true of the environmental sector, which has now been updated through the issuance of a new implementing regulation to the Job-Creation Law, specifically Regulation of the Government No. 22 of 2021 on the Implementation of Environmental Protection and Management (“Regulation 22/2021”).[1]
