This research uses normative research methods with a normative juridical approach. The idea of ecocracy must be a guideline in making state policy, political law in Indonesia, so that the ideal to continue to preserve the environment can be achieved. In order to be executed in the state system, the concept of ecocracy must be translated into a green constitution and green legislation.
