ABSTRACT
This research aims to discuss the US environment policy implementation under President Joe Biden that likely applies Washington zero-emissions policies to Indonesia. It describes President Biden’s environment policy implementation and how it might affect both countries’ relations. Climate change causes many environmental problems in many countries. Extreme changing weather phenomena are increasingly intense lately and often occur. This paper elaborates on the bilateral cooperation approach through descriptive analysis and qualitative research by conducting literature studies analysing the result. President Biden has brought the US back into the Paris Climate Agreement on January 20, 2021. Noticeably, it will bring the world to gain new energy and optimism to the agendas of global climate change. It reintroduces the US to Paris Agreement as an international treaty agreed in 2015 to prevent earth’s worsening temperature increase. President Donald Trump pulled out of the agreement in 2017, although the US is known as the world’s biggest carbon emitter. This study reveals the US environment policies might impact Indonesian economic trade strategies and the national environmental policy implementation, where Jakarta is seriously pursuing sustainable environment development in particular.
