Abstract

Agenda number 15 of SDGs, Life on Land, is currently in the spotlight because Indonesia’s commitment to it is still being scrutinized. There are various problems such as illegal logging, illegal mining, palm oil issues, and so on that drive deforestation. Therefore, this study aims to review Indonesia’s commitment to SDGs #15. This study uses green theory as an analytical tool and indicators in SDGs Life on Land to assess Indonesia’s commitment to the goal. This study uses literature study techniques to obtain data from various sources such as official documents, journal and research articles, books, mass media, and so on. It also uses document analysis related to data analysis techniques. The results show that Indonesia’s SDGs, the 15-index score, has a red report card. A red report card is interpreted as a condition where the score is stagnant or increases by less than 50% of the required level. According to data from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), the net deforestation rate in 2024 was recorded at 175.4 thousand hectares. This figure is obtained from gross deforestation of 216.2 thousand hectares minus reforestation results of 40.8 thousand hectares. Most of the gross deforestation occurred in secondary forests, covering an area of 200.6 thousand hectares (92.8%), of which 69.3% occurred within forest areas and the remainder outside forest areas. This figure reflects serious problems related to terrestrial ecosystems in Indonesia. Therefore, full commitment from stakeholders is needed to address these problems, especially to achieve SDGs target in 2030.
