Trying to find solutions for trivalent durability (economic / financial, social and environmental issues) is becoming more and more a preoccupied concerns of many specialists. In this paper we make some references to the Romanian researchers focus on the issue of sustainable development, especially with Professor Ionel Bostan, which operates at the universities of Iasi and Suceava (RO). His work, published in several scientific journals indexed in international databases, addresses issues related to promoting natural capital, the right of future generations to a healthy environment, eco-investments, green tourism, green energy, environmental audit, economy and public health financing and then, because "People are at the forefront of sustainable development”, issues related to the human factor.

Article 28H and section (4) of Article 33 in the Indonesian Constitution guarantee every citizen the right to a good and healthy environment with green economy. In order to implement it, the government issued Law No. 32 of 2009 on Environmental Protection and Management. The environmental regulations that became the umbrella act are facing challenges both in substance and implementation. Substantially, questions remain whether the green constitution has been incarnated in this regulation, and how it positions itself as the umbrella act for a number of regulations. In implementation, the challenges include the availability of legislations, from government regulations to technical policy, and its implementation in regional level, both at the provincial and regency levels in Bangka Belitung Islands. In each regime, the environmental issues have always been a part of strategic issues. This research focused on identifying environmental regulations from upstream to downstream, and how they are implemented in the context of environmental issues due to tin mining in Bangka Belitung. Data were obtained through literature review using statute and conceptual approaches.

Since the late 1980s there has been a global rethinking of the human impact on the environment. This led to the emergence of various theories emphasizing environmental stewardship while maintaining a sustainable rate of economic growth. These theories are called the concept of sustainable development. The ecological component of sustainable development emphasizes a frugal attitude to the ecosystem, «green» technologies as the basis for innovative growth and protection of the right of future generations to the quality of the environment. Most developed countries already emphasize the development of such "green" technologies as hydropower, wind power, solar and bioenergy, and geothermal energy. Due to the growing demand of countries for energy resources, it is the development of "green" energy that can become a key point of economic growth of the national economy without harming the environment.

The right to a healthy environment is one of the rights of peoples and present and ‎future generations, especially in light of modern technological developments that ‎have contributed greatly to the rate of environmental pollution, which has ‎multiplied environmental damage, and to confront these environmental damages, ‎there were many efforts at the international and internal levels.‎ ‎In keeping with comparative legislation, the legislator introduced the first law ‎for the protection of the environment under Law 10/03 relating to the protection ‎of the environment within the framework of sustainable development, which is ‎characterized by its preventive and deterrent nature, but it did not provide for ‎civil penalties related to compensation for environmental damage, which means ‎the implementation of the traditional rules recognized in the field of Civil liability ‎that is no longer appropriate given the specificity of environmental damage‎‎‎. Keywords: EEnvironmental Damage, Environment, Environmental Responsibility, ‎Compensation, Environmental Pollution, Implementation, Sustainable ‎Development

Green growth, green energy, and green industrialization have been moved tothe forefront of economic development in the present crux of environmentaldegradation and climate change. Nowadays, different policies are havinggreen features. Literarily, the green policy generally denotes theenvironmental policy, but other policies related to the environment may alsobe green focusing on environmental issues. And his industrial policydeserves a great attention of the policymakers in this regard. TheGovernment of Bangladesh (GoB) has formulated Industrial Policy 2016which has been embedded with several targets conducive to green growthand sustainable development goals (SDGs). As it is not a declared greenindustrial policy, the question has been raised here and attempts toscrutinize that to what extent or whether this policy can promote greenindustries in the obvious socioeconomic condition of Bangladesh. Thisarticle has maneuvered to evaluate this policy through content analysis andfound this policy as an elementary initiative for green industries inBangladesh.

Marine science is now moving quickly to reveal the biophysical, geochemical, and ecological properties of the deep sea. As this understanding grows, deep-sea resources will begin to be exploited more extensively, embodying the hopes of many for a Blue Economy. Institutions to govern this exploitation are only just finding their strides or even just emerging, but there are many cases already of resource overuse and degradation, including overfishing and the impacts beginning to be wrought by a changing climate. Progress towards the sustainable development of the deep sea requires useful indicators that point to changes in human well-being as the deep sea is exploited, such as measures of inclusive wealth. Accounting prices for the natural capital of the deep sea would be useful indicators, and several examples are explored to illustrate current understanding and research gaps. A future economic research agenda would involve refining estimates of accounting prices for the most important types of deep-sea natural capital, locating these within linked classifications of ecosystem services and natural capital, and the design and implementation of a system of economic and environmental accounts for the deep sea comprising the high seas, which lies beyond the purview of individual states.

This chapter investigates the interaction between individuals and states in the face of climate change. It looks into the points of intersection between climate change and human rights regimes by examining the extent to which the climate change regime has recognized and addressed the human rights dimensions of climate change. Indeed, climate change is but one of many global environmental issues and where the climate change regime is part of the corpus of international environmental law, it looks into the extent to which the debate on a right to environment can be used in the context of climate change. International environmental law includes instruments that embrace the human dimensions of environmental issues as reflected, for instance, in the definition of sustainable development adopted in the Johannesburg Declaration on Sustainable Development at the Johannesburg World Conference on Environment and Development.

Sustainable development can be defined as development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The Brundtland Commission Report 1987 defines Sustainable Development thus “Sustainable Development is the development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” From the very beginning the United Nations have taken the initiative to make Sustainable Development a reality to protect our planet from degradation and depletion in various forms. The Declaration of the UN Conference on the Human Environment or Stockholm Declaration was adopted on June, 1972 by the UN Conference on the Human Environment at the 21st plenary meeting as the first document in International Environmental law to recognize the right to a healthy environment. In the declaration, the nations agreed to accept responsibility for any environmental effects caused by their actions. Keeping this in view the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, adopted 27 principles intended to guide future sustainable development around the world in tune with the Stockholm Declaration 1972 on Human Environment. In this paper an attempt would be made to study the various aspects of sustainable development especially reducing inequalities in all forms, including the empowerment of women and girls’ and the most marginalized. To focus on balanced and sustainable economic growth with employment creation which is fundamental for addressing the multi-dimensional nature of poverty and which must be decoupled from environmental degradation. KEYWORDS: Degradation, Depletion, Empowerment, Poverty, Global Challenge

The aim of the author is to examine the nexus between the development of the indigenous peoples’ rights – which came like a blast – and the prevalence of the right to a healthy environment. As another goal, the author aims to reveal how the protection of indigenous peoples’ rights can facilitate the realisation of environmental protection and sustainable development goals. In order to achieve his goals, the author – after clarifying the definitions in the first chapter – introduces the indigenous peoples and healthy environment related practice of the three regional human rights protection mechanisms – namely the European, the Inter-American and the African – in the second chapter. In the third chapter, the author briefly introduces those rights of the indigenous peoples, which could serve the protection of indigenous peoples’ rights and the positive and negative examples. The author draws his conclusions in the last chapter.
