EXISTENCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL DEFENDERS IN ENVIRONMENTAL CONFLICTS DUE TO CLIMATE CRISIS
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article identifies situations experienced by environmental defenders due to conflicts triggered by the climate crisis and the protection they secure. Environmental defenders are a vulnerable and precarious group. Environmental conflicts due to the climate crisis might lead to violence and murder. The dynamics of this phenomenon are caused by the earth's climate issues, giving rise to the crisis, scarcity, degradation, stock depletion, competition for natural resources, and even exploitation by business parties or the government—primarily on non-renewable natural resources. The world community carried out agreements to anticipate the worsening crisis. United Nations (UN) ratified a policy to identify and mitigate environmental abuses that significantly impact the world for better protection, including environmental defenders. This study applied a normative juridical approach by qualitatively analyzing legal materials, namely regulations, journals, and previous studies.
