“…The issues raised in the forum were energy access, technology, and financing. Although the environment is not the main issue being discussed, this fact follows the thesis stated by Cullet (Cullet, 2022) that economic growth and consumerism are the main factors in the development paradigm that can result in environmental damage. The energy transition as a configuration of development also often ignores the aspect of human rights.…”

Indonesia's Constitution has recognised and guaranteed the right to a clean and healthy environment. Recognition of the right is even more relevant after the United Nations adopted the resolution to recognise it as a part of human rights in 2022. This paper will discuss the recognition and guarantee of human rights in the Indonesian legal framework on energy transition. As one of the responses to the climate change phenomenon, the energy transition should mainstream the human rights aspects. Doctrinal legal research methods are adopted in this study with a statute and conceptual approach. This study aims to map the problems of Indonesia's energy transition legal framework from a human rights perspective. The analysis results show at least three problems raised in recognising the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment in the Indonesian legal framework on energy transition: sectoral egos, incompatible legal instruments, and dependence on fossil energy.

“…Inequality is a growing problem around the world and affects the nation's development, as they are interconnected. Within the SDGs there are goals to be achieved related to economic inequality between people, however, this policy and means offer limited resources when compared to intense economic growth, as rapid and growing development is not aligned with sustainability (Cullet, 2022).…”

Indicators are important tools that help monitor and assess sustainability, providing crucial information for public management. This study aimed to analyze the behavior of municipalities in eastern amazon (State of Pará), through sustainability indicators that cover social, economic, environmental and basic sanitation dimensions, applying the statistical method of multivariate analysis. For the selection of indicators, a checklist of academic papers on sustainability was carried out. For the composition of the clusters, the Ward method was applied. To validate the number of groups, the Pakhira‐Bandyopadhyay‐Maulik (PBM) index was used, obtaining 2 groups for the sanitation and general dimensions, 3 for environmental and social and 7 groups for economic. In this study, it was possible to demonstrate that several municipalities have deficiencies related to access to water supply and mainly sewage collection and treatment, causing various consequences for the population, as they do not comply with the commitments of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Degrowth and International Law: Assessing the Compatibility of Degrowth and the Principle of Sustainable Development

This article explores whether the international law principle of sustainable development is compatible with the degrowth development framework. Sustainable development is a guiding and binding principle of international law which calls for development that meets the needs of the current generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This article is grounded in the international law principle of sustainable development because of the significant position it occupies in international law as a guiding principle of the United Nations. Degrowth calls for the intentional downscaling of production and consumption at all levels to bring human activity back within planetary boundaries while securing decent levels of human well-being. It challenges the common-sense understanding that economic growth is an indispensable part of development and instead relies on policies which redistribute already existing wealth to fund social development projects. An approach to social concerns in this way ensures that less environmental capital is needed to develop States. This article takes a broad approach to sustainable development and degrowth and argues that they are complementary because they share the same base, namely the intersection between economic development, social development, and environmental protection. This article ultimately concludes that the principle of sustainable development is compatible with and is most purely manifested within a degrowth framework.
