The aim of this article is to introduce selected issues raised by Prof. Stefan Kozlowski, for the benefit of environmental protection. During fifty years of his professional activity, many important, memorable issues have appeared. The article points at Kozlowski’s attempt to outline problems concerning nature conservation, which, in spite of beautiful tradition, was perverted by the political system of that time. This leads to many cases of abuse in natural resources management and excessive exploitation of those resources. Another important question is Kozlowski’s striving to establish area forms of nature conservation. Realizing these aims, he brings to formulate a full legal system of all-natural components protection. The last subject, that is mentioned in the article, is Kozlowski’s contribution to the implementation of sustainable development rules. Such development should be a superior rule in environmental policy leading by state. Kozlowski often advances courageous thesis, that was constructed in the taste of constructive criticism. Proposed solutions often have system features.

Indonesia is known as a rich natural resources country, but at the same time has a problem of water shortage, soil degradation, pollution, agriculture and forest production, biodiversity conservation, and mineral and energy sustainability. The national natural resources management planning alignment with SDGs programme, particularly the water resources management,  afforestation programme,  a guide for sustainable management of Indonesia’s biodiversity, government and non-government organizations participant in conservation practice, exploring alternative energy sources to reduce dependence on oil, mainstreaming of SDGs into National Development agenda, National Action Plan, and  SDGs program for Sub-national level. This program was participated by all stakeholders included government, civil society organizations, philanthropy and business society, academics as well as experts. This literature review paper will discuss about the natural resources management to deliver sustainable development goals programme in Indonesian, with specific and focus topics for water and pollution, soil, land product  (agriculture, forest and biological resources), mineral and energy. The objective of this paper was to describe  the alignment of the natural resources management planning and SDGs programme as evaluation to improve their implementation in Indonesia. Though the government has already implemented SDGs program but innovative strategic need to be developed.Indonesia dikenal sebagai negara yang kaya sumberdaya alam, tetapi pada saat yang sama menghadapi masalah kelangkaan air, degradasi lahan, polusi, produksi pertanian dan kehutanan, konservasi keanekaragaman hayati, keberlangsungan mineral dan energi. Rencana pengelolaan sumberdaya alam nasional sejalan dengan program SDGs,  khususnya terkait pengelolaan air, program perhutanian, pengelolaan keanekaragaman hayati secara berkelanjutan, pemerintah dan para pihak yang berpartisipasi dalam praktek konservasi, eksplorasi energi alternatif untuk mengurangi ketergantungan pada minyak bumi, dan pengarus-utamakaan program SDGs ke dalam agenda pembangunan nasional, rencana aksi nasional, dan program di tingkat wilayah. Program ini diikuti oleh seluruh para pihak, termasuk pemerintah, organisasi masyarakat sipil, masyarakat bisnis dan filantropi, kaum akademisi dan para ahli. Studi Pustaka ini akan membahas tentang pengelolaan sumberdaya alam untuk mencapai program pembangunan berkelanjutan di Indonesia, khususnya tentang masalah air, polusi, produsi lahan (meliputi pertanian, hutan, sumberdaya biologi), mineral dan energi. Tujuan penulisan naskah adalah untuk memberikan gambaran keterkaitan antara rencana pengelolaan sumberdaya alam dan pelaksanaan program pembangunan berkelanjutan, sebagai evaluasi untuk meningkatkan implementasinya di Indonesia. Meskipun pemerintah telah melaksanakan program SDGs, tetapi strategi yang inovatif perlu dikembangkan.

Abstract International Conference on Environmental Sustainability in Natural Resources Management (ISCES 2021) is a peer-reviewed international conference that is a leading scientific forum with international participation of experts in the fields of sustainable development research, resource management and circular economy. ISCES 2021 conference was held on October 15-16, 2021. The aim of the ISCES 2021 conference is to explore environmental sustainability trends in natural resources management, circular management and environmental engineering. Conceptual, empirical and methodological studies as well as country case studies on various topics of sustainable development were presented at the conference. It is expected that the reports and presentations will cover both theoretical, methodological and practical aspects of sustainable development and the circular economy. List of Organizing Committees, Scientific Committee are available in this pdf.

For various reasons, Southern Africa may be considered the playground as well as the thinking tank for many theories and practices in the natural resources management field. History has contributed to reshape conservation practices through colonial times, and recent wars have led to the relocation of people from their homelands and the appropriation by people of previously protected areas due to socio-economic pressures. Contemporary practices stemming from sustainable development have not yielded the expected results in resolving critical socio-economic stresses that impact on environmental health. Furthermore, human health has deteriorated in remote rural areas due to the failures of governance systems and the perpetration of non-participatory models for natural resources management, especially conservation. This paper seeks to explore how two relatively new approaches, Disaster Risk Reduction and One Health, can together tap into the theoretical and practical gaps left by previous paradigms in order to instill a sustainable development approach that can benefit both people and natural resources in remote and poor rural areas.
