- Abstract
Maritime transport is one of the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, significantly contributing to global climate change. Various international instruments, including an Advisory Opinion from the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), which classifies anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions as a form of marine pollution, have mandated the reduction of these emissions in recent years. However, there are currently no legal regulations specifically addressing reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the maritime transport sector in Indonesia. This study aims to understand the urgency of establishing national rules on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from maritime transport in Indonesia. The research method used is normative juridical, examining the technical aspects of emissions from maritime transport, the availability of environmentally friendly technology in the shipping industry, and Indonesia’s global commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The study results indicate that given these findings, Indonesia has a high urgency to immediately create regulations that reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the maritime transport sector. Such regulations will align with global commitments and also support Indonesia’s efforts to protect the marine environment and achieve national emission reduction targets.
