UPAYA KONSERVASI DALAM KERANGKA PROTOKOL KYOTO

Abstract

A set of progressive conservation policy initiatives conducted by the Province of West Kalimantan and the Province of Nanggroe Aceh Darusalam, and their regencies has normatively played a significant  sub-national role in promoting the fulfilment of the national commitment toward the Kyoto Protocol, based on its common but differentiated responsibilities principle. This will, however, promote the government's environmental politics and other international commitments to further encourage the global efforts to stabilise the greenhouse gases emission. This study, using the ratification of the  Protocol as policy base, found that although the sub-national role is both normatively and politically positive, such a sub-national role would be more effective if both the local and national governments give more political impetus to engage in the local conservation-related policies.
