“…The protection of the Earth system is vital to the continuity of all life, and yet traditional notions of environmental justice seek to achieve only an equal distribution of environmental costs and benefits; and even this, it has not managed to do successfully as the most vulnerable and poor communities are commonly those responsible for the bulk of environmental costs (Deane-Drummond, 2012;Lecuyer et al, 2018). For instance, in Southeast Asia the forestry, mining and water sectors have generated unequal distributions of costs and benefits as well as violations of human rights and irreparable and unattended environmental harms such as water pollution and loss of biodiversity (Pichler and Brad, 2016).…”

La ciencia del sistema Tierra ha demostrado que las condiciones que permiten la vida en la Tierra dependen de su sistema interconectado, complejo y adaptativo, compuesto por procesos naturales, ciclos biogeoquímicos y flujos de energía. Aunque el futuro de la Tierra depende de mantener este sistema en un estado funcional y estable, hasta la fecha, el Derecho no logra protegerlo eficazmente. Recientemente se ha propuesto el derecho del sistema Tierra como un nuevo paradigma jurídico capaz de abarcar la complejidad y no linealidades subyacentes al funcionamiento del sistema Tierra. Al explorar los aspectos normativos del sistema Tierra, este documento propone un marco conceptual que integra tres aspectos para fortalecer el papel de la ley en la protección de dicho sistema: adaptación, regulación de sistemas y justicia planetaria. En última instancia, este artículo discute las implicaciones para el derecho del sistema Tierra de integrar la adaptación, la regulación de sistemas y la justicia planetaria y proteger las condiciones planetarias que sostienen todas las formas de vida.

In early 2020, Indonesia implemented the biodiesel 30 (B30) program as an initiative to reduce Indonesia’s dependency on fossil fuels and to protect Indonesia’s palm oil market. However, palm oil has received international criticism due to its association with harmful environmental externalities. This paper analysed whether an investment in palm oil-based biofuel (POBB) provides Indonesia with the ability to achieve its environmental and financial goals. In this research, we performed a meta-analysis on biofuel energy return on investment (EROI) by examining 44 biofuel projects using ten types of biofuel feedstocks from 13 countries between 1995 and 2016. Results showed an average EROI of 3.92 and 3.22 for POBB and other biomass-based biofuels (OBBB), respectively. This shows that if only energy inputs and outputs are considered, biofuels provide a positive energy return. However, biofuels, including those from palm oil, produce externalities especially during land preparation and land restoration. We also compared these EROI biofuel results with other renewable energy sources and further analysed the implications for renewable energies to meet society’s energy demands in the future. Results showed that biofuel gives the lowest EROI compared to other renewable energy sources. Its EROI of 3.92, while positive, has been categorised as “not feasible for development”. If Indonesia plans to continue with its biofuel program, some major improvements will be necessary.
