The issue of climate change was first discussed in the United Nations Conference in Rio de Janeiro, 3-14 June 1992, which agreed on a framework for climate change, followed by the Kyoto Protocol 1997 and the Paris Agreement 2015. Implicitly, Indonesia has anticipated the issue of climate change to protect the earth, water, and space. Law Number 5 of 1960 concerning Basic Agrarian Regulations was born to build a just and prosperous society. The issue of climate change as a result of increasing global temperatures is feared to be a disaster for the sustainability of life, so the President together with the House of Representatives agreed to create a Climate Change Management Law as a priority for the formation of law through the National Legislation Program, with the Decree of the DPR Number: 64/DPR RI/I/2024-2025 dated November 9, 2024 proposed by Members of the DPR and the Regional Representative Council. The objective of the Climate Change Management regulation was to ensure that it is a progressive legal instrument that can address the complexity of the climate change management system and sustainable development, and that the state should protect human rights and the environment in a dignified manner. This paper’s research method uses a normative legal research method, using a prescriptive approach, namely analyzing the applicable legal rules and principles systematically against the applicable regulations. The importance of regulating climate change management is not due to pressure from developed countries, but rather the aspirations of legal needs and public participation in the state’s responsibility to protect human rights and the environment.
