Descriptiontext

Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup / Badan Pengendalian Lingkungan Hidup (KLH/BPLH) is Indonesia's national environmental regulatory authority, established in 1986 and restructured under the Prabowo administration to merge the Ministry of Environment with the Environmental Control Agency. It holds exclusive statutory authority to set environmental standards, conduct Environmental Impact Assessments (AMDAL), issue environmental permits, enforce environmental law, and coordinate Indonesia's international climate commitments under the Paris Agreement (Enhanced NDC: 31.89% own / 43.20% with international support by 2030).

The ministry operates a portfolio of national programs — Adipura (urban environmental award, digitally transformed as Adipura 8.0 in 2025), Adiwiyata (school environmental program), PROPER (corporate environmental rating), Kalpataru, ProKlim (climate village program), Nirwasita Tantra (regional green leadership), and the Ekonomi Sirkular (circular economy) framework — supported by digital platforms including SIPSN (national waste information system), SIDIA (Adiwiyata registration), SRUK/SRN PPI (carbon unit registry, making Indonesia the first country to adopt global carbon data standards), Bursa Karbon / IDX Carbon (carbon exchange), PTSPn (one-stop permitting), WCC dashboard on Looker Studio, and SP4N Lapor (public complaints). It also runs Pusarpedal environmental laboratories and six regional Environmental Control Centers (Pusdal) covering Sumatera, Jawa, Kalimantan, Bali Nusra, Sulawesi Maluku, and Papua.

KLH/BPLH is funded through Indonesia's state budget (APBN) and does not generate commercial revenue. Its go-to-market is regulatory and service-delivery: it serves Indonesian industries (including ~10,000 factories covered by EPR), 34 provinces and 514 districts/cities of regional government, schools (Adiwiyata), communities (ProKlim), and the broader public. Distribution combines centralized ministry services in Jakarta, six regional centers, integrated digital portals, and coordination with sub-national environmental agencies. The current Minister, Moh Jumhur Hidayat, was inaugurated on 27 April 2026, with Vice Minister Diaz Faisal Malik Hendropriyono appointed 21 October 2024.
