Comparison and implementation of environmental law policies in handling climate change in ASEAN countries: a comparative study of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand

Addressing climate change is a global issue that requires collaborative efforts and effective policies. In the ASEAN region, countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand have similar challenges in dealing with the impacts of climate change and promoting environmental sustainability. In this context, this study aims to compare the environmental law policies implemented by the three countries. This study uses a comparative method to analyze the differences and similarities of environmental law policies in addressing climate change in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand. First, the national legal framework governing environmental protection and climate change will be analyzed. Next, specific policies that have been implemented to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, encourage renewable energy, and promote adaptation to climate change will be explored. Through this approach, this study is expected to provide a better understanding of the effectiveness of environmental law policies in addressing climate change in ASEAN countries. The results of this comparative analysis will provide insights into the successes and challenges faced by each country, as well as recommendations for future policy improvements. The findings of this research are expected to provide valuable inputs for policy makers, legal practitioners, and other relevant stakeholders in developing more effective strategies in addressing climate change at the national and regional levels. With a better understanding of comparative environmental law policies, ASEAN countries can learn from each other and work together to achieve common goals in facing the challenges of climate change.
