 Abstract

Despite a broad agreement on the significance of incorporating environmental consciousness and sustainability into policies, these have not been sufficiently prioritized in the practice of economic democracy. Such principles are essential for the operation of the national economy and are mandated by Indonesia's constitution. This study introduces the critical idea of integrating environmental and sustainability principles within economic democracy to foster economic development. It utilizes normative legal research methods, using both primary and secondary legal sources like the Constitutional Court Law, the 1945 Constitution, academic journals, and theories on economic democracy. The research finds a robust connection between environmental and sustainability principles, suggesting that economic development should harmonize environmental conservation, management, quality improvement, and sustainability with economic growth. In Indonesia, economic interests often dominate environmental considerations. However, ensuring prosperity and a healthy environment as part of human rights remains essential. Environmental considerations are crucial for societal efforts to enhance well-being. Combining these principles could lead to laws that address environmental crises and safeguard citizens' constitutional rights, benefiting both the environment and community welfare.
