Abstract

The renewal of the Indonesian constitution in the fourth amendment to the 1945 Constitution provides a policy format or political law for the national economy taking into account the principle of environmental and sustainable insight. The problems in this paper are first, how are environmental arrangements in the Indonesian constitution? and second, what is the contribution of environmental regulation in the Indonesian constitution to natural resource management policies? The results of this study are first, the environmental regulation in the Indonesian constitution is inseparable from the development of the international environment and the principles of sustainable development formulated in WCED United Nations. Economic constitution through Article 33 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution still tends to be anthropocentric approach, so it must be balanced and correlated to paragraph (4) in this provision which is characterized by a green constitution through the principles of togetherness, fair efficiency, sustainability, environmental insight, independence, and by maintaining the balance, progress and unity of the national economy; secondly, the contribution of environmental regulation in the Indonesian constitution to natural resource management policies. In an effort to control and exploit it is not only the interests of economic commodities to achieve state revenue alone, but also consider environmental aspects. Environmental constitutionality contributes significantly in providing a balance between national development and environmental balance.
