Environmental law currently faces 3 challenges of the climate crisis that occurs globally which have an impact on climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. Environmental changes certainly have an impact on the sustainability of the life of a population of living beings, so a breakthrough is needed, one of which is from the law through a certain policy. The current law seems to be a tool to be used in perpetuating the crisis through the excessive exploitation of natural resources. This research aims to examine breakthroughs in rethinking the function of law. Legal regime that will be formed both at the national and international levels in dealing with environmental crises. This research uses normative legal research with a cognitive approach, where the research approach starts from the views and doctrines that develop in legal science. Understanding these views and doctrines is a basis for researchers to build a legal argument in solving the issues at hand. This research also uses a legislative approach that is carried out by examining all laws and regulations related to the legal issues being handled. The result of this research is the concept of sustainability in environmental issues that must be encouraged more progressively by making rules about the environment. The practice of customary law communities that recognize ecological integrity can be further improved not only at the national level but also at the global level.
