Abstract

The world has entered a phase of environmental damage in the phenomenon of Climate Change. The industrial economy can no longer be run as it should (business as usual) but requires special attention to the environment through the green economy. Generally, the law is present in the context of climate change to provide justice not only to humans but to the environment, but there are problems because the green industry rules as stated in Law Number 3 of 2014 concerning Industry only require voluntary environmental preservation. The problem is studied with a legal historical, conceptual and legislative approach so that the research objectives to find out the development of green technology policies to the application of the concept of voluntary rules in Indonesia are achieved. The type of legal research used is normative legal research with deductive thinking method. Analysis of norms is carried out qualitatively to find the weaknesses of voluntary policies using the Compulsory Concept and the Concept of Sustainable Development as a solution using the Theory of Economic Democracy. Both concepts are considered by the author as a solution to reduce environmental damage because environmental safety is more important than profits from industrial activities. Data is obtained through literature study, especially using Law Number 3 Year 2014. The results show that voluntary rules do not have a deterrent effect on business actors for violations of environmental damage because the punishment given is only limited to compensation to the state, not imprisonment. Compensation makes the rules of the green industry counter to the environment so that the rules of green industry law are paradoxical to the purpose of the values of the green industry which provides justice to economic activity and the environment.
