Abstract:
The convergence of environmental law and human rights is based on the understanding that a healthy environment is a fundamental prerequisite for the fulfillment of human rights. This research aims to analyze the extent to which the convergence of environmental law and human rights can realize inclusive justice and how inclusive justice can support community empowerment. This study uses an analytical descriptive research method by collecting data and analyzing the relationship between environmental law and human rights to realize inclusive development through community empowerment programs. This research uses a legislative approach and a comparison of environmental law and human rights with the aim of achieving inclusive justice for all Indonesian people. The result of this research is that to realize equitable inclusive development, the participation of the government and the community is needed for community empowerment through the improvement of the green economy, health insurance, and education. The author hopes that the results of this research can contribute to the sustainable development of an inclusive development perspective through community empowerment programs.
