Abstract:
Customary law in Indonesia is an integral part of the national legal system that develops dynamically in accordance with changes in society and the times. The type of research used is Normative Juridical (Legal Research). As the living law, customary law remains relevant because it is rooted in local values that reflect the nation’s personality, such as mutual cooperation and deliberation. Recognition of customary law communities in the 1945 Constitution and various other regulations shows the state’s commitment to maintaining the existence and traditional rights of indigenous communities. In terms of conflict resolution, customary law offers a way to resolve conflicts, such as Adat Badamai in the Banjar community. Climate change has a significant impact on various sectors in South Kalimantan, including water security, food, energy, biodiversity, and public health. The sustainability of customary law in the Indonesian legal system depends on its ability to adapt to modern legal principles without losing its essence of justice.
