The Mediating Role of Green Innovation and Investor Sentiment in Climate Related Risks on Sustainability Reporting:  Evidence from the Indonesian Context

Objective: This research aims to uncover land conflicts on Rempang Island, Indonesia and provide solutions. People who claim to have had rights to their land since 1720 feel disturbed by plans to build Rempang Eco City, spearheaded by a national company in collaboration with Xinyi Glass Holdings Ltd, China, to manage 17,600 hectares of land. The riots on September 6 and 7, 2023, sparked major conflict when officers tried to break through residents' barricades using water cannons and tear gas. Theoretical framework: Regarding land acquisition for strategic projects, Downing (2002) advised the Government to be careful because every investment plan is generally designed to avoid structural poverty by avoiding new poverty by relocating communities due to mining and providing resettlement. Meanwhile, land owned by the state is very limited. Therefore, the best way for the Government is to buy land belonging to communities whose rights are controlled based on customary law and formal law, not by force. Johnson and Swedlow (2019) explain that land acquisition for National Strategic Projects requires the principle of deliberation between the government and land rights holders. To ensure the successful implementation of government policies, the concept of deliberation is essential and needs to involve many community groups. Williams (2021) states that designing deliberations is a challenge because society is guided by its culture's norms, values and rules. Mitchell et al. (2023) refer to deliberation as policy dialogue, a tool that encourages evidence-based policymaking that addresses high-priority issues a synthesis of the best available evidence. Land acquisition analysis should focus on deliberative dialogue and not on ethical issues in a policy context (Bevan & Rasmussen, 2017). Method: This research method uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological study. The selection of informants was carried out using purposive sampling technique. We used an interview study supported by information from trusted online newspapers to obtain various information. The triangulation method is used to re-check the correctness of the data by reducing as much as possible bias during data collection and analysis. The research questions are why land conflicts occur, whether no regulations facilitate them, and how land conflicts should be resolved. The research results show weaknesses in communication and outreach, officials do not understand the history of community land ownership, and weak bureaucratic structures result in repressive actions. Results and Conclusions: The land conflict on Rempang Island exploded due to the Government's weakness in communicating and socializing the President's policies, demonstrated by regional government officials and other institution, which only carried out socialization in April 2023 but failed because they did not understand the history of community land control. The weak bureaucratic structure causes repressive actions, which are shown in the implementation of wrong government policies. This conflict has caused trauma to children and society, requiring various mental and psychological health efforts. The conclusion shows that conflicts occurred because the regulations for determining land in Rempang as a strategic state project were too hasty without socialization, and the law could not prevent land conflicts. This conflict has caused trauma to the community, especially children. Most informants want the government to be able to solve problems by implementing a dialogue (deliberation) policy as a solution. Research implications: This study presents policy implications that regional, provincial and national governments can utilize to encourage the successful resolution of land conflicts in any region. The consequences of this strategy can help develop more potent methods for enhancing regional cooperation. Originality/value: This research analyses paradigm changes in the land administration system, strengthening bureaucratic structures, collaboration between institutions, and increasing community understanding through socialization and public dialogue. These changes can affect land governance and reduce land conflicts that continued to occur after Indonesia's independence. This paradigm shift study is a new contribution because it can provide a deeper understanding of the evolution of land governance and law in Indonesia.

“…Achieving sustainability or sustainable development implies the goal of maintaining or improving favorable conditions (to sustain them), particularly in terms of increasing the capacity to prolong the desired conditions over the long term (Harrington, 2016). This means that sustainability indicates the continuity of performance in several aspects (Siregar et al, 2023).…”

Purpose: Geopark development generates several investment opportunities in various sectors, including micro-enterprises. However, there is still a phenomenon of unsustainable performance problems in micro-enterprises in the Belitung Islands, in sales and productivity. This research aims to examine the influence of smart governance and business capabilities on the sustainable performance of micro-enterprises in Belitung, both directly and indirectly through business collaboration. Design/methodology/data analysis: This study used a quantitative research design. The population in this study were all micro-businesses in the Belitung Islands. The sample size was 200 respondents concerning the analytical technique used in hypothesis testing, namely structural equation modeling. Respondents in this study are small business actors in the Belitung Islands who have implemented smart technology. Findings: The results of hypothesis testing show that: smart governance has a significant effect on business collaboration, business capabilities have a significant effect on building business collaboration, smart governance has no effect on sustainable performance, business capabilities have a significant effect on sustainable performance, business collaboration has a significant effect on sustainable performance, smart governance has an effect on sustainable performance through business collaboration, and business capabilities have an effect on sustainable performance through business collaboration. Originality/value: The results of this study indicate the important role of business capability in building business collaboration of micro-business actors in Belitung which has implications for improving sustainable performance. Practical implications: The managerial implication of these findings is that efforts to improve sustainable performance for micro businesses in Belitung can be done by prioritizing the development of business capabilities capable of building business collaboration, with an emphasis on encouraging increased customer trust.

“…Therefore, developing local climate mitigation strategies requires understanding how global consumption drives local carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions with good spatial resolution. No study provides a spatially explicit mapping of the global carbon footprint of China, the world's largest producer of CO2 emissions, that simultaneously considers international and interprovincial trade (Yang et al, 2020;Siregar et al, 2023).…”

Objective: This research aims to provide essential issues to be included in the draft of new regulations to revise Law Number 22 of 2009 concerning Road Traffic and Transportation. The transportation sector plays a vital role in social mobility in Jakarta. However, the negative impact of increasing carbon emissions reaching 171 air pollution standard index (APSI) cannot be accommodated by outdated laws and poses a significant challenge to the health of the environment and urban communities now and in the future. Theoretical framework: The theory used is Carbon Emission Disclosure. We will use some of this theory to explain and incorporate it into the plans for new regulations. Carbon Emission Disclosure (CED) is one part of carbon accounting, an organization's obligation to measure, acknowledge, record, present, and disclose carbon emissions. In this context, the government is responsible for CED. Carbon Emission Disclosure was measured using several items adopted from research. There are five broad categories relevant to climate change and carbon emissions: climate change risks and opportunities, greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, reduction of greenhouse gases and costs, and accountability of emission carbon. Method: The Method uses a qualitative approach using focus group discussions and is supported by participant observation. Sixteen stakeholders, policymakers, and eight private vehicle users participated in this study, providing diverse perspectives. Research starts May 18 to November 19, 2023. The research locus is in the city of Jakarta. Results and Conclusions: This study found six themes that were taken into consideration to be included in the draft of new regulations that will be drafted. Namely Motor Vehicle Policy is to reduce the amount of reduction in the impact of carbon emissions; policy on the impact of traffic jams and density, the impact of carbon emissions on population health; limiting vehicle emissions by implementing carbon accounting; zero-emission vehicles by supporting electric vehicles; future solutions and strategies, namely implementing a Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) plan to reduce carbon emissions, and regarding the use of illegal drugs, alcohol, and several points proposed by field observation participants. Research implications: This study presents policy implications that the government can utilize to reduce the impact of carbon emissions through several parts of the CED concept, including reducing carbon emissions, high energy consumption in Jakarta can be reduced by electric vehicles, detailing emission reduction strategies, and comprehensively implementing accountability for carbon emissions serious about coal-based electricity companies around the city of Jakarta. The consequences of this strategy can range from policy formulation to developing new regulations that replace old laws. Originality/value: This research analyzes the paradigm shift, which still uses old laws to become new laws, by including the CED concept, which focuses on six themes from the results of this study. These changes can affect transportation management in Indonesia. This paradigm shift study is a new contribution because it can provide a deeper understanding of the evolution of transportation governance by reducing carbon emissions. This paradigm shift is expected to significantly shift private vehicle users to mass vehicles, reducing carbon emissions. On the other hand, the government has issued regulations President Number 61 of 2011 concerning the National Action Plan for Emission Reduction Greenhouse Gases. This regulation is issued to reduce carbon emissions. The challenge is that until now, the implementers have yet to implement it thoughtfully; its implementation is separate from the National Law and requires a solid will to include it in the new draft law as a single unit.
