Sustainable development goals and environmentally sound infrastructure development in Indonesia

Abstract

Development in Indonesia still ignores environmental sustainability, development that is expected to provide benefits turns out to have risks from its implementation. Indeed, development has a close relationship with the environment. When development cannot pay attention to environmental sustainability, the environment is not only damaged but can eventually become extinct. Efforts that can be made in the implementation of the Sustainble Development Goals and environmentally sound infrastructure development in Indonesia include the enforcement of environmental laws, examination and supervision, the role of society, and the need for a triangle of partnerships between governments, businesses and civil society in a relationship of equality without neglecting the laws of economics, ecology and civilization. By prioritizing the development of environmentally friendly forms of development from the "green construction" plan, the role of the government can reduce negative environmental impacts. A lot of infrastructure construction can cause environmental damage. Therefore, every planning, management, and supervision activity is indispensable at all these stages and the impact of infrastructure development on the environment must support the development of environmentally sound infrastructure in the perspective of Sustainble Development Goals with the aim of maintaining a good environment.
