Job Creation Law’s Risk Towards Investment Efficiency and Business Convenience Regarding the Environment

Abstract

From its inception as a draft bill to its enactment, the Omnibus Law on Job Creation has been steeped in controversy. While it promises investment efficiency and ease of business operations, the law is perceived as a threat to environmental sustainability and a potential weakener of environmental law enforcement. Accordingly, this research aims to analyze and describe the risks that the UU Cipta Kerja poses to the environment from a legal perspective. This qualitative research was performed using the descriptive exploratory design to gain detailed insights of the ongoing events during the research period, investigate the causes of specific phenomena, and describe the current state of these phenomena. Data collection was conducted through a desk study, which involved gathering information from various sources including books and websites. This approach allowed the researchers to efficiently locate and compile necessary data and information.
