- Abstract
One of the causes of forest deforestation is the deliberate burning of forests and land by corporations to save costs and time to achieve greater profits. The environment damaged and polluted by forest and land fires must be restored so the next generations can enjoy it. Thus, development carried out in Indonesia must also pay attention to the next generation’s interests. This research aims to determine the concept of punishment for environmental crimes as an effort for sustainable development. This research uses a doctrinal legal research method, a statutory approach, and a conceptual approach. Law Number 32 of 2009 adheres to a combined theory of punishment (Vereeniging theory), which combines absolute theory and relative theory, namely imprisonment and fines as a reflection of the absolute/retributive theory and sanctions for actions regulated as additional punishment as a reflection of the relative theory. The application of additional penalties in Article 119 of the PPLH Law, namely repairing the consequences of criminal acts and obligations to carry out work that is neglected without imperative/obligatory rights, is the right step to support sustainable development so that the development carried out does not damage the environment and can be enjoyed by future generations.
