How to Achieve Environmental Sustainability through Manpower Policy?

Abstract

Achieving a good quality and sustainable living environment is the main dream of every country andat the same time becomes a barometer for achieving high economic growth. On the other hand, many institutions (such as like: the European Environment Agency (EEA) and Asian Environmental Compliance & Enforcement Network (AECEN)) were established only aimed to maintain a quality environment. Human resources have an important role in protecting the quality environment, then every related entity (government, corporation, or non-government organization) must also have a concern for this resource issue. Therefore, this study aims to determine what factors can be used by the government to improve the capacity of human resources and at the same time achieve quality and sustainable environmental goals. This study used the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) flow chart analysis tool. The databases used in this research are Scopus and Web of Science and use Publish or Perish (PoP) to search for articles with certain keywords. Furthermore, this study also used several qualitative research tools (such as VOSviewer and NVivo), to further analyze each eligible article generated from the database. The main finding of this study is that education plays an important role
in achieving environmental sustainability, so the government should focus more on creating a sustainability mindset and developing human capita.
