Environmental issues should not be placed on one side, namely the government (legislative, executive and judicative), but all components of the existing layer in a country must be able to interpret the green constitution in the hearts of each. Green constitution as the idea of constitutionalizing the norm of environmental law into the constitution by raising the draft of environmental protection norms to the constitution level. Approach method used in this research using a normative juridical approach with the focus related to the green constitution as reinforcement of environmental principles in the Constitution with data obtained and analyzed by using a qualitative normative method. This constitutionalization can be grouped into three types. First, formal constitutionalization. This group has a style in which the constitutionalization of environmental policy is carried out by putting it in a formal form on the environment and ideas of sustainable development; Secondly, substantial Constitutionalization. This model is interpreted as a practice of constitutionalization that is not only limited to formal but substantially. As for a reason, that environmental policy becomes the spirit (spirit) of the constitution in a country, Third, structural constitutionalization. This model is an extreme ending which changes the environmental paradigm of the object into the subject of human rights so that the environment can be viewed as a separate legal subject structure beside the human subject.

Principles And Standards

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is grounded in different international human rights instruments. Human rights (HR) principles and standards are strongly reflected in several of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets. Furthermore, SDG 17 emphasizes partnership as a key to achieving all of the SDGs. This article examines the SDGs-HR linkage in general, as well as specific HR principles that can be advanced by the achievement of SDG 17. Opportunities and challenges to promote Goal 17 of the SDGs that directly affect certain HRs are also examined. A review of relevant literature, 2030 summit documents, and outcomes of recent international conferences on the SDGs is undertaken in order to determine the progress made towards forging regional and global partnerships for the SDGs, as envisaged in Goal 17. This article finds that the absence of a political will and commitment, increased isolationist policy, narrow nationalism and poor rule linkage at national and international levels are some of the obstacles to the attainment of Goal 17. Yet, opportunities abound to promote the Goal. The article recommends a genuine commitment to implementing the SDGs by encouraging the South-South and North-South to prevent the SDGs from becoming a mere wishlist. Synergy between the government, individuals, civil society organizations (CSOs) and transnational corporations (TNCs) is equally very important. Keywords: Human rights, sustainable development goals, partnership for the goals.

The banking sector plays a critical role in economic development while its activities are also equally responsible for social and environmental damage such as violation of human rights, loss of biodiversity, and climate change in Bangladesh. A careful examination of investing and financing activities disclosed in annual reports of 35 selected banks suggest that, while banks are taking several in-house and external green initiatives, many of them are also actively investing and funding projects like shipbreaking that threaten environmental sustainability and are prone to human rights violation. This chapter urges the government, policymakers, and central bank in developing policies and regulating banks; stakeholders in understanding banks' commitment and actions to safeguard the environment and human rights; and managers in measuring, reporting, and mitigating the social and environmental impact through their current and future lending policies.

The present paper, as regards its subject-matter though not in form, is part of a general investigation of the rainfall of India, which has occupied much of my spare time for some years past, and the results of which are already partly embodied in a memoir which I hope, in the course of a few months, to issue as an official publication of the Indian Meteorological Office. The idea that the snowfall of the Himalaya exercises a direct and important influence on the dry land winds of North-Western India is not now put forward for the first time. It has been the subject of frequent reference in the annual reports on the meteorology of India since 1876, as well as elsewhere; and in a report on the administration of the India Meteorological Department lately issued, I summarised very briefly those points in the experience of the previous five years which have seemed to justify its provisional adoption as a basis for forecasting the probable character of the monsoon rains. Relying on this experience, in the month of June last, I put forward in the Government Gazette, a note giving warning of the probability of a prolonged period of drought in the approaching monsoon season, and the result, if not in exact accordance with the terms of the forecast, has been so far confirmatory of the general idea, as to induce me to put the facts of past experience formally on record, and thereby challenge attention to the subject. If I am right in the inference that the varying extent and thickness of the Himalayan snows exercise a great and prolonged influence on the climatic conditions and weather of the plains of North-Western India, it is probable, that with more or less modification according to the local geography, causes of a similar character will be found equally operative in other regions, and perhaps on an even more extensive scale.

Abstract. Indonesia, where 75% of its territory is covered by the sea, held a significant role both in local and international commerce in the past. Various historical evidences, shipwrecks, as well as the influence and the similarity of maritime culture with other countries reveal that Indonesian people held major role in global maritime culture at the time. However, the maritime culture and life nowadays slowly recedes due to economical factors, limited raw materials, and lack of technology. This paper aims to provide solutions for the problems through the alteration of traditional wooden boat into traditional cruise. The approach used in this research is sustainable development approach through the concept of marine tourism which focuses in making use of traditional boats for both native villagers and tourists to visit the natural and cultural attractions of marine people living in coastal areas and small islands. Hopefully, this article can inspire to support the government repositioning Indonesia maritime area as one of the global maritime axis, in addition to strengthen the efforts to preserve the maritime cultural heritage.Abstrak. Wilayah Indonesia memiliki luas wilayah kurang lebih 75% berupa laut, memiliki peran penting dalam arus lalu-lintas perdagangan lokal maupun antar negara di masa lalu. Adanya berbagai bukti sejarah, kapal tenggelam, serta pengaruh atau kesamaan budaya bahari dengan negara lain, menunjukkan bahwa bangsa Indonesia adalah bangsa bahari yang hidup di wilayah perairan sebagai poros pelayaran internasional kala itu. Permasalahannya adalah kehidupan akar budaya bahari masyarakat sekarang ini, yang salah satunya berupa aktivitas pelayaran kapal tradisional sebagai bukti budaya bahari, secara perlahan tapi pasti mulai menghilang akibat faktor ekonomi, bahan baku, dan teknologi. Tulisan ini bertujuan memberikan alternatif pemecahan masalah pelestarian budaya bahari bangsa melalui pemanfaatan potensi kapal kayu tradisional sebagai kapal wisata tradisional (traditional cruise). Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah pendekatan pembangunan berkelanjutan melalui konsep pariwisata bahari dengan fokus pada pemanfaatan kapal tradisional yang tidak saja memberi kemudahan angkutan masyarakat antar pulau, tetapi juga kemudahan kepada wisatawan untuk mengunjungi keanekaragaman alam dan kehidupan keseharian akar budaya bahari masyarakat di kawasan pesisir dan pulau-pulau kecil. Diharapkan tulisan ini dapat menjadi inspirasi dalam mendukung pemerintah memposisikan kembali wilayah perairan Indonesia sebagai poros pelayaran internasional (poros maritim dunia), sekaligus memperkuat upaya pelestarian budaya bahari bangsa.

State Responses

The article addresses the responses of the government of Zimbabwe and its proxies to a letter issued by Catholic bishops on 14 August 2020, entitled ‘The march is not ended’. The response to the letter presents an ambivalent view of the nexus of the state, law and religion in Zimbabwe, which needs to be teased out and challenged in order to reinvent a democratic nation. This theoretical article taps into decoloniality theory to problematise state responses to the letter. The articles discuss responses by government actors, such as Monica Mutswanga and Nick Magwana, and regime enablers, such as Mutendi and Wutawunashe. The responses indicate the weaponization of religion and law to silence dissenting voices, and to enact a skewed nationalism. The article argues that, in the context of crisis, authoritarianism, and abuse of human rights, politicians and religious leaders should position their narratives to enact social justice, ontological density, peace and accountability, as a healing process to usher in sustainable development.

Most often quoted were representatives of the government as centers of political power, though members of marginalized groups were also not absent. The journalists showed sensitivity to marginalized actors of social practice.

Societal development in a sustainable way is always treated as a better goal than the economic and political development of the society. Rather, it would be pertinent to say that without social development we cannot attend to the economic and political development of mankind. Keeping this thought alive, policy makers in India since the beginning of policy implementation after independence focused more rigorously on strategizing programs and plans for achieving socially sustainable development. This article aims to discuss policies, programs, and strategies formulated and implemented by the Government of India, subjected to social development. It elaborates on the constitutional provisions, planning endeavors, trends and analysis of the attribute of sustainable development such as education, employment policies and strategies, and gender equality and women empowering policies of the government.

There are many proofs confirming the importance of sustainable development for Montenegro. Shared international challenges, global economic crisis, and, particularly, the country?s natural characteristics emphasize that sustainable development is the only way ahead. In 2002 Montenegro formed the National Council for Sustainable Development; in 2005 the Office for Sustainable Development was established, and the National Strategy of Sustainable Development was adopted in 2007. With these developments, Montenegro created the most advanced institutional basis for sustainable development in its region. After carefully observing the functioning of national sustainable development institutions, however, the Office for Sustainable Development embarked upon the process of their reform in 2008. As a result, the Council was fundamentally reformed, having its membership downsized and composition transformed. Two Annual Reports on the Implementation of the Sustainable Development Strategy have been completed and the process of defining sustainable development indicators commenced in co-operation with the United Nations. This paper critically examines the evolution of the set-up of the Montenegrin sustainable development system, presents the advantages and disadvantages of the government-anchored Council. Based on the lessons learnt, it presents recommendations for policy makers on promoting and enforcing sustainable development. The paper argues that only by effectively co-ordinating all segments of society and ensuring genuine participation of outside-government stakeholders, the countries can ensure that sustainable development principles are incorporated in national and local policies. The independence and pro-activeness in approach of sustainable development institutions is essential in ensuring the supremacy of sustainable practices in decision-making. Considering the similarities in historic, economic and social developments of the former socialist countries, the recommendations put forward by this paper could be of particularly relevance for the countries of Southeast, Central, and Eastern Europe. The findings of this paper could also contribute to the wider debate on sustainable development institutional models.
