Government Regulation on the Implementation of Environmental Protection and Management
In forceGovernment Regulation No. 22 of 2021 on the Implementation of Environmental Protection and Management (Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 22 Tahun 2021 tentang Penyelenggaraan Perlindungan dan Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup)
Effective 2021-02-02 · Applies to both
Government Regulation No. 22 of 2021 requires an Environmental Approval (Persetujuan Lingkungan) for every Business and/or Activity with a significant or non-significant impact on the environment (Article 3(1)). That Approval is granted to a Business Actor or a Government Agency and serves as a precondition for the underlying business licence or government approval (Article 3(2)-(3)).
Article 4 sets three instruments through which that Approval is obtained depending on the scale of impact: an Amdal (environmental impact analysis), a UKL-UPL (environmental management and monitoring undertaking), or an SPPL (a statement of capability to manage the environment) for the lowest-impact category. Article 5 requires an Amdal specifically for a plan with a Dampak Penting (significant impact).
That significant-impact determination turns on either the scale of the business or activity or a location inside or directly bordering a protected area (Article 5(2)). This Regulation repeals five earlier environmental instruments, including the prior Environmental Permit regulation (PP No. 27 of 2012).
