Introduction to the cyber-environmental law: convergence of human, technology and nature

Abstract

Abstract Cyberlaw and environmental law have different development histories. Cyberlaw is still a relatively new regime that developed a few decades ago, and the environmental law was substantially already developed 4000 years ago. However, it was not until the 1972 Stockholm Declaration that modern environmental law became more advanced than ever. The problem is that the cyber and environmental laws are not seen as convergence, yet there is still no theory or concept to see this as a unitary system of rules. Sometimes, it makes law enforcement not advance well enough. This article aims to analyze the possibility of bridging the cyber and the environmental law to create a convergence of law and legal theory. The theory of law applied in this article is the theory of legal convergence and the theory of legal development. This article’s method is a normative legal approach to solving this problem. The results of this study are the convergence of both laws can initiate the possibility of a new theory called the Cyber-Environmental Law. The idea can advance it and provide practical benefits for law enforcement in the environmental fields and harmonize amongst humans, technology, and nature.
