The Sustainable Development Nexus (SDN): Delivering Environmental Innovation Technologies (EITs) for Community Ecological Resilience (CER) in Indonesia

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze and describe the Sustainable Development Nexus (SDN), in relation to Environmental Innovation Technologies (EITs) for Community Ecological Resilience (CER) in Indonesia. Phenomena such as climate change, land degradation, biodiversity loss, and environmental pollution exert considerable influence on ecosystems and human existence. Developing countries, such as Indonesia, have more complex problems due to high dependence on natural resources and limited adaptive technologies. This research uses a qualitative method with an integrated literature review approach to examine the technological dimensions of environmental innovations that aim for stronger community ecological resilience. The materials used included a decade of publications from 2013 to 2023, which underwent rigorous credibility-based evaluation, relevance assessment, and source triangulation. The results show that the diffusion of environmental technologies, support of policy initiatives by the state, and increased public awareness significantly contribute to mitigating environmental degradation. The integration of economic, social, and environmental aspects in the sustainable development nexus can ensure ecosystem balance while meeting the needs of the population. In conclusion, the Sustainable Development Nexus (SDN) is very essential to harmonize economic progress, social equality, and environmental sustainability. In addition, environmental technology innovations (EITs) are evidently reduce environmental degradation, and increase community's ecological resilience (CER).
