Legal Perspectives on Clean Energy Development for Sustainable Development

Abstract

This study explores the legal perspective on clean energy development as an effort to realize sustainable development. Clean energy plays a vital role in reducing carbon emissions and protecting the environment from further degradation, which are key elements in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, the transition to clean energy faces various legal challenges, including suboptimal regulations, overlapping policies, and investment constraints. Through a legal analysis of regulations and policies related to clean energy at the national and international levels, this study highlights the role of law as a driving instrument that can support or hinder clean energy development. The results of this study indicate that a strong, consistent, and integrated legal framework is essential to support a sustainable energy transition. This study recommends policy reforms that prioritize incentives for clean energy, better environmental protection, and increased access to and investment in sustainable energy. This study is expected to contribute to the development of policies and regulations that support clean energy in order to achieve sustainable development
