Legal and Political Advocacy in Renewable Energy Governance: Strengthening Policy Effectiveness in Indonesia

Abstract

Legal advocacy and political policy influence on every decision-making related to renewable energy in the government have implications for whether or not the targets and objectives of the policy are achieved to answer the problems and needs that exist in society. In encouraging the development of New Renewable Energy (NRB), Indonesia reflects through the NRB Bill and its derivative regulations. The effectiveness of this policy is influenced by Indonesia's political direction to seek to reduce emissions. Political policies that are implemented based on the effectiveness of renewable energy governance in the form of good governance can encourage Indonesia to achieve targets and efforts in producing energy from NRB in 2030. This effort also encourages the government to achieve the national NRB target of 34% or an increase of 10.6% from the previous target. Legal advocacy efforts encourage the fulfilment of people's rights to obtain, access and benefit from the management of natural resources for renewable energy in the form of the implementation of government policies related to renewable energy.
