Pembangunan, Deforestasi dan Perubahan Iklim Development, Deforestation and Climate Change
Abstract: Natural resources
utilities to fulfill human’s needs have been occurring massively since a
concept of “progress” became human’s
dreams. To achieve
the progress, development
concept that means
as serious efforts to avoid damage and strive into betterment has
emerged. The first development ideology that
was emerged and
developed was modernization. Industrialization as
main character of modernization caused
improvement in various
aspects of life. From
environmental aspect, economic improvement
achieved has caused various environmental impacts that harmful to human’s life,
such as deforestation, forest degradation and climate change. Since 1980’s,
deforestation has extended to a very complex environmental issue globally. Deforestation
could be seen as a side effect of a particular policy or
political action. On the other
hand, deforestation caused
other various environmental problems, such
as global warming.
Global warming occurred
since there was
an increase of greenhouse
gases concentration in
the atmosphere. The
relation among development,
deforestation, and climate change was analyzed through analysis on power
relation and conflict of interest among actors involved. The analysis showed
that various strategies in development and environmental impact mitigations that
conducted by developing
countries were actually
a form of
power and knowledge domination of
developed countries. Through
international institutions, they
are offering atonement concepts
in various schemes which imply particular missions that basically they still
want to obtain profits from developing countries without taking the risks from
the execution of the schemes.
