The Southeast Asian region stands at a pivotal crossroads. Buoyed by rapid economic growth, it grapples with the mounting challenges of environmental degradation, persistent poverty, and uneven development. This summary delves into these complexities, drawing from eight distinct yet interconnected studies in this December 2023 issue of The Journal of Indonesia Sustainable Development Planning to illuminate pathways towards a more sustainable and equitable future.At the heart of this exploration lies the fundamental question: is unbridled economic expansion compatible with environmental protection and social justice? Research papers “How New Green Technologies are Changing the Indonesian Economy”by Jastacia et al. and “Exploring Sustainable Economic Growth: Promoting Green Development Productivity through Decentralized Environmental Policy and Regional Competitiveness” by Fajri et al.offer promising answers. They showcase how “New Green Technologies” are transforming the Indonesian economy, paving the way for “Promoting Green Development Productivity” through decentralized environmental policies and regional competitiveness. This shift, however, hinges on effective regulatory frameworks. On the other hand, Paper “Regulation on The Utilization of Carbon Services as A Forest Protection Effort in Indonesia” by Siagian et al.explores how “Regulation on The Utilization of Carbon Services” can incentivize forest protection, a crucial step in mitigating climate change and preserving valuable ecosystems.Moving beyond mere economic metrics, the book review“Poverty and Freedom: Case Studies on Global Economic Development”by Komang Ariyantoandpolicy paper“Overview of Informal Sector Workers Viewed from Education Variables” by Dodi Satriawanremind us that human well-being remains the ultimate measure of progress.
