Implementation of Sustainable Development Strategies in National Development Planning: A Case Study of The Energy Sector in Indonesia

Abstract

This paper examines the implementation of sustainable development strategies within the context of national development planning, specifically focusing on the energy sector in Indonesia. Sustainable development emphasizes the need for the current generation to meet their needs without compromising future generations' ability to do the same. This concept incorporates economic, social, and environmental welfare. The legal framework provided by Law No. 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management outlines the necessary components for achieving sustainable development at both national and regional levels. The study discusses the importance of maintaining natural resource balance sheets, green economic growth, and the human development index (HDI) as key indicators. Additionally, it highlights the need for reliable human, man-made, and natural capital to drive sustainable development. By examining various case studies and theoretical perspectives, the paper underscores the need for a new development paradigm that synergizes economic growth with environmental improvement to address critical issues such as water, food, and energy crises in Indonesia.
