Abstract

Sustainable development is a colossal narrative of state elites to institutionalize the right to development which, instead of being oriented towards harmonization of development efforts with efforts to protect the environment, is actually based on human interests. The inherent causality of this effort has an impact on systemic environmental damage in various countries. When the environment is no longer able to recover itself according to the timeline of meeting the needs of human civilization, an ambitious approach such as ecocentrism needs to be used as a counter-narrative to the anthropocentrism approach which tends to be relative: it looks useful, but in fact it is not. This study argues that sustainable development no longer shows its relevance when the earth's situation has entered a crisis stage: the environment is no longer able to keep up with the destructive demands of human fulfillment and continues to increase at an accelerating pace. Furthermore, the focus of this research is thus to question the relevance of sustainable development which was sparked by an a priori narrative, namely a narrative centered on the presupposition that environmental protection is aimed at fulfilling the interests of the development of human civilization. In the condition of the earth that has experienced the current crisis, setting standards that are higher than the status quo for mitigating and adapting to climate change may still be lacking in preventing crises on earth. Reflecting on the above, this research seeks to offer a new paradigm in transforming an ecocentric approach by reflecting on state practices that are recognized at the international level. With this paradigm transformation, the anthropocentric approach can be overhauled in order to accommodate the current earth crisis situation.

Bahasa Abstract

Pembangunan berkelanjutan merupakan narasi kolosal para elite negara untuk menginstitusionalisasikan hak atas pembangunan (right to development) yang, alih-alih berorientasi pada harmonisasi upaya pembangunan dengan upaya pelindungan lingkungan hidup, justru didasarkan pada kepentingan manusia. Kausalitas yang tercipta secara inheren dari upaya ini berdampak pada kerusakan lingkungan yang sistemis di berbagai negara. Kala lingkungan tidak lagi dapat memulihkan dirinya sesuai dengan lini masa pemenuhan kebutuhan peradaban manusia, pendekatan yang ambisius seperti ekosentrisme perlu dijadikan sebagai kontranarasi terhadap pendekatan antroposentrisme yang cenderung nisbi: terlihat bermanfaat, tetapi nyatanya tidak. Penelitian ini berargumen bahwa pembangunan berkelanjutan tidak lagi memperlihatkan relevansinya di kala situasi bumi telah memasuki tahap krisis: lingkungan hidup tidak lagi mungkin untuk mengikuti permintaan pemenuhan manusia yang destruktif dan terus meningkat pada laju yang akseleratif. Lebih lanjut, fokus penelitian ini dengan demikian adalah untuk mempertanyakan relevansi pembangunan berkelanjutan yang dicetuskan dengan narasi apriori, yakni narasi yang berpusat pada praanggapan bahwa perlindungan lingkungan hidup ditujukan untuk pemenuhan kepentingan pembangunan peradaban manusia. Dalam kondisi bumi yang telah mengalami krisis saat ini, penetapan standar yang lebih tinggi dari status quo untuk melakukan mitigasi dan adaptasi perubahan iklim mungkin masih kurang dalam mencegah krisis di bumi. Berkaca pada hal di atas, penelitian ini hendak menawarkan paradigma baru dalam mentransformasikan pendekatan ekosentris dengan berkaca pada praktik kenegaraan (state practices) yang diakui di level internasional. Dengan adanya transformasi paradigma ini, pendekatan antroposentris dapat dirombak demi mengakomodasi situasi krisis bumi saat ini.
