"Implementation of Environmental Economics Concept and Principle in Regional Development Planning" by Dr. Ir. Iwan Kustiwan, M.T.

 

I attended a webinar organized by Ecoedu @ecoedu.id about "Implementation of Environmental Economics Concept and Principle in Regional Development Planning". The speaker of the webinar was Mr. Dr. Ir. Iwan Kustiwan, M.T. @iwank63 a Senior Lecturer at SAPPK ITB @itb1920 @sappk.itb

I think Environmental Economics and Green Economy are crucial fundamentals in our development planning and we must implement them not just in our development documents but also in the real field's implementation. So, the gap result between planning documents and Implementation will be decreased. I hope we can achieve it!

Thank you Mr. Dr. Iwan Kustiwan for the materials, it reminds me for the materials in Participatory Regional Planning Course in Master of Agricultural Economics, Faculty of Agriculture, Padjadjaran University that lectured by Mr. Dr. Eka Purna Yudha @eka_yudha81 and Mrs. Prof. Tuti Karyani @tuti.karyani

Lessons from "Rich Dad Poor Dad" Book by Robert Kiyosaki

Currently, I am on my reading on a famous book by Robert Kiyosaki @therealkiyosaki entitled "Rich Dad Poor Dad". I think I got such important messages and learning.

I am impressed by the story and learning from the rich dad a.k.a. Mike's Dad in Chapter 2 about a fact that the rich don't work for money but money works for them. How the rich dad gave the lesson to 9-years-old Robert with just paid him 10 cent per hour for working at Mike's Dad Store, then Robert complained and protested about it, blamed Mike's Dad for the little paycheck, which illustrate the same phenomenon of the common adults who work for money and do complaining to their boss and company for the low salary, but not to blaming themselves that cannot make money works for them. Such a good example and illustration for the fact in our lives

For more insight, you all could read the summary on this website link:

https://www.samuelthomasdavies.com/book-summaries/business/rich-dad-poor-dad/

Here are some key notes:

The Book in Three Sentences

1. Rich Dad Poor Dad is about Robert Kiyosaki and his two dads—his real father (poor dad) and the father of his best friend (rich dad)—and the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing.

2. You don’t need to earn a high income to be rich.

3. Rich people make money work for​ them.

The Five Big Ideas

1. The poor and the middle-class work for money. The rich have money work for them.

2. It’s not how much money you make that matters. It’s how much money you keep.

3. Rich people acquire assets. The poor and middle class acquire liabilities that they think are assets.

4. Financial aptitude is what you do with money once you make it, how you keep people from taking it from you, how to keep it longer, and how you make money work hard for you.

5. The single most powerful asset we all have is our mind.

Rich Dad Poor Dad Lessons

1. Lesson 1: The Rich Don’t Work for Money, but Money works for them

2. Lesson 2: Why Teach Financial Literacy?

3. Lesson 3: Mind Your Own Business

4. Lesson 4: The History of Taxes and The Power of Corporations

5. Lesson 5: The Rich Invent Money

6. Lesson 6: Work to Learn—Don’t Work for Money

"Why Should We Choose Local Food System?" Webinar Organized by Paguyuban Pangan

 

 

Last Saturday, on 19th April 2025, I attended a webinar organized by @kamisenitani and Paguyuban Pangan, that discussed about "Why Should We Choose Local Food System?" Besides Teh Vania @vaniavanya from Seni Tani that talked about Seni Tani's Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) implementation, the other speaker was my supervisor in my master degree and my lecturer at SITH ITB @sithitb Mr. Angga Dwiartama, Ph.D. @dwiartamaangga

He explained that implementation of local food system was not just to achieve food security, but to achieve social relation and bonding, resilience, and prosperity through healthy food system.

The local food system was implementing the moral economy that had important roles in local society. He told that lot of examples for implementation of local food system around the world including Indonesia, such as Farmer's Market, Community Supported Agriculture (CSA), Community Garden and City Gardening, and other local market communities that was still implementing local customs and local wisdoms.

We also should do shifting from just a food consumers to a food citizen that had a collective movement to rebuild the meaning of "local" in local food system.

So let's improve our local food system in our regions, because it's not just for achieving food security but for the prosperity and sustainability in broaden perspective!

Kudos to Paguyuban Pangan, I hope I could join in the next events!

Evidence-Based Policy Webinar by Ganesa Research and Consulting

 

 

Last Thursday, I attended Career Development Series from Ganesa Research and Consulting @grc.insight about The Importance of Evidence-Based Policy, and one of the speakers was my friend at ITB, Adit @adityap.aji , he is Head of Research and Advisory at Think Policy, @thinkpolicyid which is one of influential think thanks in Indonesia. Another speaker was Mr. Ihya @ihyaulumuddinsy from GRC.

Public policy in general is new thing for me, so I need to learn from the experts, and this webinar was giving a chance for me to dig and learn more about Evidence-Based Policy, because as what I learned at Agricultural Economics Master Program at UNPAD, which had a focus and concentration in Agricultural Policy and Development also Policy in Food Sector, I need to learn from the experts and become master in these fields, and for that I should know about Public Policy in general and how to create a good policy that gives beneficial impacts to the society.

Thanks to Adit @adityap.aji and Mr Ihya @ihyaulumuddinsy for the materials and learning, it gave me broaden perspective how should we make a good policy and the importance of Evidence-Based Public Policy and creating the right ecosystem on it for the better impacts and prosperity of our society.

Kudos!

Launch Your Moonshot Goal! - Tony Robbins

 

Dzikra,  

Have you ever wondered what might be possible if you dared to dream impossibly big? 

Most people set goals that feel achievable. But what if that's the very thing holding you back? 

When Tony Robbins set out to provide 1B meals to those in need, people thought it was impossible.  

He reached that goal two years ahead of schedule. His current mission is to feed 100B people around the world. 

The difference between ordinary results and extraordinary achievement isn't hard work or luck. 

It's having the courage to set goals that scare you in the first place. 

As Tony says, "If your goals don't scare you, you're not dreaming big enough." 

In fact, thinking 10X bigger could completely transform your career, business, relationships and much more! 

The Power of Moonshot Goals: Why Playing Small Is Risky 

We're conditioned to set "realistic" goals to prevent disappointment.  

However, playing small is the biggest risk you can take. 

When you set ordinary goals: 

• You attract ordinary opportunities 

• You tap into ordinary levels of inspiration 

• You create ordinary results that lead to ordinary days 

What if instead, you set goals that seem almost impossible? 

Tony's dear friend Peter H. Diamandis calls this a moonshot goal—something massive, world-changing, and a little bit crazy. 

Imagine: 

• Buying your dream home in a location you thought was out of reach 

• Retiring your partner and funding the pursuit of their true passion 

• Retiring yourself a decade (or two!) earlier than you planned 

• Traveling the world without worrying about the budget 

• Buying a house for a loved one, outright 

• Making a six or seven-figure contribution to your favorite charity 

These aren't just dreams. They're moonshot goals people achieve every year—not because they're special, but because they dared to think bigger. 

The Mindset Shift: From "How?" to "Must!" 

The biggest obstacle to moonshot goals isn't your ability. It's what Tony calls "the tyranny of how.” 

Most people ask, "How can I possibly do this?" before they've fully committed to "Why must I do this?" 

When you focus on the "how" too early: 

• Your brain finds the reasons it couldn't work 

• You generate uncertainty instead of conviction 

• You talk yourself out of even trying 

  But when you focus on your "why": 

• You create unshakeable certainty 

• Your brain finds solutions instead of problems 

• You attract the resources and people you need 

 As Tony says, "Reasons come first; answers come second." 

The 3-Step Formula for Achieving the "Impossible" 

To turn your moonshot goals into reality, follow Tony's proven approach.  

Transform your SHOULDS into MUSTS 

When something becomes a must, failure is no longer an option. Your brain will find a way. 

Ignore the "tyranny of how" 

Don't worry about how you'll achieve your goal. Focus on making your why so powerful that the how becomes inevitable. 

Create unstoppable momentum 

Success breeds success. Each small achievement builds certainty, which leads to bigger actions and better results. 

Remember: Moonshot goals aren't achieved by individuals alone.  

They require teams, support, and collaboration. But it starts with YOUR decision to dream bigger! 

Challenge: Set a Moonshot Goal  

Take these three steps to set your big, scary goal. 

• Dream: Write down one goal that scares you (but excites you). 
• Commit: Make it a MUST by attaching a deep, emotional reason. 
• Move: Take the first step—even if you don't know the whole path. 

When you commit to a moonshot goal, you're not just changing what you'll achieve, but who you'll become in the process. 

P.S. Don’t forget: If you can't, you must. If you must, you can. Set your moonshot goals and enjoy the journey!

Tony Robbins | Crisis or Breakthrough? The Choice That Changes Everything

 

“The difference between those who rise and those who stay stuck is not the absence of obstacles—but the speed at which they move from resistance to creation.” – Tony Robbins

One moment, you’re standing strong—confident, certain, unstoppable. The next, the ground gives way. The plan shatters. The path ahead disappears.

Life doesn’t ask permission to change.

It tilts, it twists, it throws you off course. And when it does, you have two choices: resist and stay stuck—or pivot and create something greater than you ever imagined.

Moments like these can feel like endings. A sudden loss, a dream deferred, a door slammed shut. But what if the ending is just the threshold of something greater?

I faced this reckoning in 2020. For over four decades, my mission had been forged in the fire of in-person events—stadiums pulsing with energy, thousands of people igniting their breakthroughs together.

But seemingly overnight, the doors closed. The pandemic hit. The world stood still. And for the first time in my career, I had to ask myself: What now?

What I didn’t know then was that I was moving through the six stages of transformation (also known as the six stages of grief)—an evolution we all must navigate when life hands us the unexpected. If you’ve ever felt stuck amid change, you may have found yourself navigating these stages too:

1️⃣ Shock & Denial – "This isn’t happening."

The first stage is disbelief. We grasp at what was, convinced that if we wait long enough, life will return to normal. But normal is an illusion—life is always in motion. At first, I refused to accept that our in-person events, one of which was just days away, were being canceled.

2️⃣ Anger – "This isn’t fair."

When reality sets in, frustration follows. We look for someone to blame—circumstances, leaders, the world itself. But anger left unchecked is a fire that consumes rather than creates. To move forward, it must be transmuted into action.

3️⃣ Bargaining – "Maybe if I just hold on a little longer..."

Here, we negotiate with the past. We tell ourselves if we just push through, we won’t have to change.  But life doesn’t move backward. Growth demands we step into the unknown.

4️⃣ Depression – "What if this is the end?"

This is the darkest moment. The grief of letting go. The fear that the best is behind us. I won’t lie—there was a moment I wondered if the magic of my work would ever be the same. But depression is often a signal that we’re looking in the wrong direction—backward instead of forward. The way out is through a new vision.

5️⃣ Acceptance – "This is real. So what will I do with it?"

Here, the shift begins. Acceptance is not surrender—it is the recognition that while we cannot control what happens, we can always control what we do next. I stopped resisting and started asking: How can I serve in a new way?

6️⃣ Creation & Breakthrough – "This is not the end—it’s the beginning."

Some people stop at acceptance. But I believe there is a sixth and final step that is the most important. And this is where the alchemy happens. The place where loss transforms into possibility. Instead of trying to rebuild what was, I chose to create what had never been done before.

🔥 We launched the first-ever virtual Unleash the Power Within.

🔥 We reached over 30,000 households in a single weekend—more than I could ever fit in an arena.

🔥 We didn’t just return to the mission—we expanded it beyond anything I’d ever imagined.

What once seemed like an ending was a gateway to impact—at a scale I never thought possible.

So I ask you now: Where in your life are you holding on to what was, instead of stepping into what could be?

If you’re in the middle of a storm, know this: the breakdown always precedes the breakthrough.

It's not your fault if you get knocked to your knees, but it is your fault if you don't get off your knees and find a way to push through.

The difference between those who rise and those who stay stuck is not the absence of obstacles—but the speed at which they move from resistance to creation.

Whatever challenge you’re facing right now, ask yourself:

What if this isn’t happening TO me, but FOR me? What if this very moment is the key to unlocking the life I was meant to live? What can I create that never would have been possible before?

Your next level is waiting. But you must choose to step into it.

What’s one area of your life where you can turn crisis into your greatest breakthrough? Drop a comment and let me know.

To your breakthrough, 

Tony Robbins

The Secret to Real Leadership - Tony Robbins's Newsletter "The Edge"

 

"Anyone can be a leader. It's about answering the call." - Tony Robbins @tonyrobbins

I want to share a Tony Robbins's newsletter "The Edge" that expain about Leaders and Leadership. Here is it. Enjoy!
 

Here’s the truth Dzikra: Leadership has nothing to do with your title—and everything to do with your influence. 

I’ve worked with presidents, CEOs, and the world’s most powerful decision-makers. You know what separates the leaders who drive real change from those who just hold a position? 

They execute. 

It’s not the smartest person in the room who wins—it’s the one who takes massive action. Ideas are a dime a dozen. Execution? That’s where the real power is. 

But here’s the best part: You don’t need a title to be a leader. 

Leadership starts with you—your mindset, your emotions, your ability to follow through. If you can influence yourself to think bigger, to show up every day, and to push beyond your own limits—you can influence anyone. 

And that’s when everything changes. 

I wasn’t born into power. I didn’t have a fancy degree or some high-ranking position handed to me. I have a high school education. But what I did have was hunger. And a desire to serve. 

I became obsessed with understanding human behavior—why some people succeed while others settle. I sought out the best of the best, studied their strategies, and applied them relentlessly. 

And that’s how I built a life of impact—by focusing on influence over position and doing what others wouldn’t.

If you want to lead—really lead—here’s where to start. 

Lead yourself first – The strongest leaders take command of their inner world. Master your mind, your emotions, and your habits—because if you can’t lead yourself, how can you lead others? 

Execution beats intelligence – Knowledge isn't power; it's potential power. Execution beats knowledge any day of the week. It’s not what you know—it’s what you do that counts. Stop waiting for the perfect moment. Take massive action now and course-correct along the way. 

Model the best – Success leaves clues. Whatever you want—better health, stronger relationships, financial freedom—someone has already figured it out. Find those people. Study their strategies. And take action. 

So, here’s my challenge to you: 

Decide right now to be the leader of your own life. Decide to raise your standards. Take one action today that moves you closer to the life you want. Whether it’s making that tough decision, having that honest conversation, or committing to a new habit—do it today. 

Because real leadership doesn’t wait. It doesn’t need permission.

The time to lead is now. Will you step up? 

To your success and leadership,

Tony Robbins

Hyper-Personalization for MSME's Businesses - Exabytes Digital Day - 20th March 2025

 

Last week I attended Exabytes Digital Day with topic about hyper-personalization for MSME's Businesses.

To make MSMEs could compete with big entreprises, we could give services that implement hyper-personalization based on our customer's data and history. We could give offering by WhatsApp or Email using hyper-personalization based on the customer's purchasing data so it would give a personal and more relatable offering for the customer if we compare to what big entreprises did with mass and general offerings and advertisements.

I am also curious about how small websites could implement hyper-personalization on their websites based on the behavior and history from the customers, and the speaker said it's very possible to implement with cookies implementation even for websites which are using WordPress as CMS. It's such an insight!

Thanks Exabytes Indonesia @exabytes_id and CreativeQode @creativeqode_id for the event! I hope I could join the next event with other interesting topics ☺️☺️

Adaptasi konsep meritokrasi untuk akselerasi pertumbuhan ekonomi dalam negeri

Alexander Michael Tjahjadi, Universitas Atma Jaya Yogyakarta

Prabowo-Gibran, yang pencalonannya sebagai Presiden dan Wakil Presiden memantik kontroversi, mulai bekerja sejak 20 Oktober 2024.

Untuk mengawal pemerintahan mereka, kami menerbitkan edisi khusus #PantauPrabowo yang memuat isu-isu penting hasil pemetaan kami bersama TCID Author Network. Edisi ini turut mengevaluasi 10 tahun pemerintahan Joko Widodo, sekaligus menjadi bekal Prabowo-Gibran menjalankan tugasnya.

---

Pascapandemi Covid, pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia bisa stabil di tren positif. Pada tahun 2023, misalnya, meski melambat dari 5,21% pada tahun 2022, pertumbuhan ekonomi Indonesia bisa mencapai 5,05% meskipun pertumbuhannya masih ditopang oleh konsumsi.

Dengan tingkat pertumbuhan seperti itu, sulit dan menantang bagi Indonesia untuk mewujudkan loncatan dari kelas menengah menjadi kelas tinggi. Bahkan, Indonesia membutuhkan ‘mukjizat’ agar itu terjadi.

Sebagai acuan pembangunan nasional, Indonesia kerap menggunakan Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Nasional (RPJMN). Sayangnya target yang ditetapkan termasuk skenario-skenarionya kurang realistis. Hal ini tentu akan memengaruhi kepercayaan pasar terhadap kebijakan pemerintah.

Banyak aspek yang bisa pemerintah benahi agar bisa mengejar target pertumbuhan ekonominya. Namun, salah satu yang menurut saya perlu Pemerintahan Prabowo-Gibran terapkan adalah pendekatan meritokrasi.

Apa itu meritokrasi?

Meritokrasi adalah sistem yang menghargai kerja keras dan kemampuan, dibandingkan latar belakang keluarga. Namun, Claudia Goldin, pemenang nobel ekonomi 2023 menyebutkan tidak semudah itu meritokrasi terjadi. Meritokrasi mengedepankan filosofi bahwa keunggulan individu dan prestasi mereka seharusnya menjadi dasar utama untuk pengakuan, promosi, dan penghargaan dalam suatu masyarakat atau organisasi.

Namun, dalam perjalanannya, pendekatan ini sering kali dihadapkan terhadap pertimbangan emosi atau preferensi personal. Keduanya bernuansa subjektivitas karena favoritisme, ketidaksukaan, dan sejenisnya. Sistem seleksi atau pengakuan berbasis meritokrasi, harapannya, mampu memberikan keadilan untuk semua, karena prinsip kesetaraan kesempatan dan akses.

Masih terdapat beberapa celah penerapan meritokrasi, termasuk kualitas pendidikan yang ada tidak terstandard. Pelaksanaan meritokrasi tanpa persiapan pendidikan bisa menimbulkan ketimpangan yang semakin besar.

Di sisi lain, meritokrasi politik bisa menciptakan manfaat besar tetapi bisa berlangsung kontraproduktif jika kemampuan pemilihnya rendah.

Suksesi Cina yang bisa dijadikan contoh

Cina dapat menjadi salah satu rujukan penerapan meritokrasi. Meski sudah melewati tren booming-nya, ekonomi Cina mampu tumbuh di kisaran 6,6% pada 2018. IMF menyebutkan bahwa titik tertinggi pertumbuhan ekonomi Negeri Panda tersebut bahkan sampai 14,2% pada tahun 2007. Torehan ini turut mengangkat kesejahteraan dan juga kemakmuran masyarakat miskin.

Dari contoh yang ada, sebenarnya Indonesia bisa belajar banyak dari Cina tentang bagaimana membuat pertumbuhan yang berkelanjutan.

Salah satu yang bisa dipelajari adalah bagaimana Cina menggabungkan antara kebijakan ekonomi pasar dan juga beberapa instrumen negara. Mulai dari anjuran Presiden Cina Xi Jinping, bahwa semua pengejawantahan nilai nilai “Sosialisme model Cina” seharusnya bisa selaras dengan kepentingan pihak swasta. Hal ini tidak hanya menyebabkan pertumbuhan lebih terfokus, tetapi juga bisa sesuai dengan kepentingan negara.

Reformasi ekonomi di Cina adalah hasil dari sistem otoritarian yang tentu berbeda dengan sistem Pancasila Indonesia. Namun, sistem kompetisi yang dibangun Cina di level regional juga menjadikan mereka berlomba-lomba untuk tumbuh. Pemerintah pusat berusaha untuk mengontrol orang-orang yang ada di daerah, sedangkan pemerintah daerah yang menjalankan berbagai program untuk mendukung program pusat.

Merujuk kepada cara mengelola ekonomi daerah, Cina dapat menyeimbangkan antara bagaimana menggunakan mekanisme pasar dan juga aturan pemerintah. Kedua hal ini adalah cara untuk meningkatkan pertumbuhan ekonomi yang berkelanjutan.

Salah satu hal yang direncanakan Cina sejak tahun 2023, adalah pembangunan industri yang berteknologi tinggi, hal ini termasuk beberapa hal seperti semikonduktor yang bisa menyokong teknologi digital di masa depan. Lewat inovasi tersebut, Cina berharap bisa mengintegrasikan teknologinya dengan perkembangan industrialisasi. Industri baru yang dimaksudkan oleh Xi adalah manufaktur, kualitas produk, aeronotika, transportasi, luar angkasa, termasuk teknologi digital.

Meski demikian, pembangunan regional yang berkelanjutan juga tidak tanpa masalah. Cina turut menghadapi klientalisme, yakni perusahan-perusahaan yang punya hubungan politik justru mendapatkan keuntungan. Namun, pertumbuhan tetap terjadi karena sistem negara dan BUMN Cina memiliki restriksi yang berbeda. Perbedaannya adalah uang untuk pembangunan tidak masuk ke pihak swasta tetapi menggerakan pajak lokal sehingga ada manfaat yang lebih besar.

Terdapat dua hal yang Cina lakukan untuk membangun kapasitasnya. Pertama yaitu kombinasi tata kelola lewat demokrasi liberal yang dinamakan meritokrasi politik. Tujuannya adalah mengangkat bukan hanya berdasarkan voting tetapi kapasitas kepemimpinan.

Hal kedua yaitu model campuran tiga sistem pengambilan keputusan, yakni voting dan nominasi publik tetapi masih ditinjau oleh partai komunis. Kedua hal itu dilakukan agar kapasitas pemerintah bisa berkembang dan bukan memperburuknya dengan klientelisme.

Apa yang Indonesia dapat pelajari

Setidaknya ada 3 hal yang bisa dilakukan oleh pemerintah Indonesia bisa lakukan jika ingin melakukan pendekatan meritokrasi secara mendalam.

Pertama, yaitu mengintegrasikan kebijakan pasar dengan instrumen pemerintah. Untuk mencapai pertumbuhan tinggi. Hal yang perlu dilakukan adalah memberikan stimulus agar terjadi iklim persaingan yang sehat sehingga timbul inovasi.

Jika pemerintah memberikan subsidi terus menerus maka perusahaan swasta tidak bisa berinovasi dengan baik. Berbagai cara bisa dilakukan yaitu untuk membuat zona pembangunan khusus sepeti kawasan ekonomi khusus terpadu dengan calon investor yang bisa mendanai.

Kedua adalah pembangunan regional yang terarah. PNS di daerah bisa meniru budaya meritokrasi agar arahan dan kontrol kebijakan selaras dengan tujuan nasional, sekaligus kompetensi dan pengetahuan daerah itu sendiri. Kompetisi yang sehat antardaerah ini berpotensi mendukung program-program nasional, sehingga kebijakan nasional dan daerah bisa terhubung.

Ketiga, pemerintah dapat memulai pembangunan teknologi digital, hal ini sejalan dengan program “hilirisasi digital” . Salah satu yang bisa dilakukan adalah berfokus pada pengembangan ekosistem startup digital dan juga penguatan infrastruktur digital dan cloud lokal. Ini akan membantu UMKM agar bisa memperlancar aksesibilitas internet mereka dan mengurangi biaya.

Serba-serbi ekonomi restoratif: bersinambungan antar ekonomi dan lingkungan

Achmad Hanif Imaduddin, Center of Economic and Law Studies (CELIOS)

Kemajuan peradaban manusia telah mendorong eksploitasi besar-besaran terhadap bumi. United Nations Environment Programme mencatat sejak revolusi industri 1.0 pada abad ke-18, sebanyak 87% lahan basah global hilang. Padahal, lahan basah merupakan habitat alami flora dan fauna, sumber air bersih, dan sumber resapan air pencegah banjir.

Puncak akselerasi kehancuran ekosistem terjadi sejak 50 tahun terakhir. Dalam kurun waktu ini, manusia mendegradasi lebih dari 2 miliar hektare lahan.

Fenomena ini membawa kita kepada dua wawasan kritis. Pertama, dunia masih bergerak lamban dalam menghadapi krisis iklim dan agenda transisi energi. Kedua, misi berkelanjutan seakan berlawanan dengan pertumbuhan dan kegiatan ekonomi, terutama sektor ekstraktif yang dinilai lebih praktis dan menguntungkan secara ekonomis.

Mengenal ekonomi restoratif

Kerusakan lingkungan yang kian parah memicu keresahan bagi para pemerhati lingkungan untuk menggagas model ekonomi yang lebih progresif dan ramah lingkungan, yaitu ekonomi restoratif. Istilah ini dipopulerkan oleh pengusaha dan pakar lingkungan asal Amerika, Paul Hawken, pada 1993. Dalam bukunya The Ecology of Commerce, Hawken mengatakan “restorasi adalah mengembalikan sesuatu ke kondisi semula”.

Semangat ide ini disambut baik oleh Ekonom Oxford Kate Raworth pada 2012 melalui bukunya Doughtnut Economics: Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st-Century Economist. Raworth sepakat bahwa manusia modern tidak bisa lagi berpikir jika pertumbuhan ekonomi dapat dipacu ugal-ugalan karena batasan dan beban ekologi.

Keserakahan ekonomi ini berujung pada kerusakan alam yang fatal seperti perubahan iklim, degradasi lahan, hingga penipisan lapisan ozon. Pandangan ini secara umum turut mengkritisi model ekonomi arus utama yang hanya mengukur pertumbuhan ekonomi dari Produk Domestik Bruto (PDB), tanpa mempertimbangkan dampaknya secara menyeluruh terhadap keberlanjutan alam dan komunitas sosial.

Gagasan dan model ekonomi prolingkungan ini memang menjadi perdebatan dan menimbulkan pertanyaan mengenai sampai sejauh apa restorasi yang dimaksud. Sebab, tidak mungkin mengembalikan pencapaian peradaban manusia yang sudah sangat modern ini kembali ke era berburu dan bercocok tanam.

Untuk menjawab hal ini, kita bisa menengok kembali kebijakan normalisasi kali Ciliwung di Jakarta yang bisa dijadikan contoh populer kebijakan ekonomi restoratif. Program ini mengatasi banjir tahunan yang berdampak terhadap aktivitas ekonomi nasional dengan membenahi aspek lingkungan.

Apa perbedaan ekonomi restoratif dengan ekonomi sirkular dan regeneratif?

Dalam forum akademis, ekonomi restoratif kerap dipertentangkan dengan ekonomi regeneratif. Sedangkan dalam media massa, istilah ini kalah populer dibandingkan ekonomi sirkular. Meskipun sama-sama menekankan pada keberlanjutan, ketiganya memiliki karakteristiknya tersendiri.

Ekonomi restoratif fokus pada perbaikan dan pengembalian alam ke kondisi semula. Adapun ekonomi regeneratif adalah membuat sesuatu lebih baik lagi. Artinya, regenerasi merupakan bentuk peningkatan dari restorasi atau pemulihan.

Dua pengertian ini melahirkan implikasi bahwa praktik restoratif lebih mudah digapai. Kewajiban para pemangku kepentingan hanya sebatas mengembalikan kerusakan lingkungan ke kondisi semula akibat dari kegiatan mereka.

Sementara itu, orientasi utama ekonomi sirkular adalah meminimalkan limbah dan memaksimalkan efisiensi sumber daya dengan menciptakan sistem siklus tertutup. Ini terinspirasi dari proses siklus alam agar produk dan material dapat terus digunakan kembali.

Tabel 1. Perbedaan Utama Ekonomi Restoratif, Sirkular, dan Regeneratif

Tabel di atas menunjukkan bahwa ketiga model ekonomi memiliki karakteristik dan pendekatannya tersendiri. Perbedaan ini tidak dimaknai sebagai hal yang bertentangan, tetapi sebagai hal yang saling melengkapi dalam kerangka pembangunan berkelanjutan.

Tetap bisa mendulang keuntungan

Yang tidak kalah penting, ekonomi restoratif tetap menawarkan sejumlah potensi keuntungan ekonomis. Sebuah studi menunjukkan setiap Rp16 ribu yang diinvestasikan untuk merestorasi lahan berpotensi menghasilkan manfaat ekonomi sebesar Rp112 ribu-Rp480 ribu karena pemulihan alam justru menyediakan peluang ekonomis tambahan.

Cambridge Econometrics memperkirakan setiap Rp20 ribu yang dibelanjakan untuk reboisasi membuahkan imbal balik ekonomi dan sosial senilai sekitar Rp55,8 ribu. Manfaat serupa muncul dalam upaya restorasi gambut dan rawa yang dapat memberikan manfaat balik sekitar Rp92,4 ribu dan Rp26,2 ribu.

Manfaat ekonomis yang dimaksud dapat berupa penciptaan kerja dan nilai tambah bruto. Sedangkan manfaat sosial lebih merujuk pada peningkatan kualitas air, pengurangan risiko banjir, peningkatan keanekaragam hayati, hingga pelestarian situs ekologi.

Prinsip-prinsip ekonomi restoratif dapat juga diterapkan secara praktis oleh masyarakat hingga ke level akar rumput. Sebagai contoh, Wahana Lingkungan Hidup (Walhi) memulai gerakan ekonomi restoratif melalui inisiatif Ekonomi Nusantara.

Sejak diluncurkan pada 2021, program ini telah melibatkan 199.767 kepala keluarga di 28 provinsi, termasuk Sumatera Selatan, Bengkulu, dan Kalimantan Timur. Walhi mendampingi pengelolaan 1,3 juta hektare lahan komunitas dari lima lanskap ekologis, mulai dari gambut hingga hutan. Sebagai hasilnya, Walhi berhasil mengidentifikasi 77 sumber pangan potensial dan memulihkan hutan di Desa Ibun, Jawa Barat, yang kini mendukung ekonomi lokal.

Prinsip ekonomi restoratif juga diterapkan di Desa Pigapu, Iwaka, Papua, melalui pengelolaan hutan sosial. Program ini melibatkan 77 perempuan dan 33 laki-laki dalam tujuh Kelompok Usaha Perhutanan Sosial untuk mengelola hasil hutan non-kayu dan jasa lingkungan, seperti ekowisata. Mereka juga diberi akses pelatihan bisnis, pengembangan produk, dan perizinan usaha yang didampingi oleh Yayasan Ekologi Sahul Lestari dan didanai oleh The Asia Foundation.

Dilaksanakan sejak 2022, program ini berhasil menerbitkan legalitas usaha untuk empat kelompok usaha pangan, satu kelompok anyaman, satu tanaman hias, dan satu ekowisata. Desa Pigapu kini menjadi destinasi ekowisata lokal dengan 29 pemandu wisata dan tiga di antaranya bersertifikasi.

Negara masih lebih memilih laju pertumbuhan ekonomi ketimbang lingkungan

Masih banyak negara yang belum menunjukkan komitmen kuat terhadap upaya pemulihan dan perlindungan lingkungan. Sebagai contoh, pemerintah Indonesia membuka kembali ekspor pasir laut yang telah ditutup selama 20 tahun. Kebijakan ini berpotensi merusak ekosistem pesisir dan mengancam mata pencaharian para nelayan.

Tidak hanya Indonesia yang masih lesu dalam kebijakan prolingkungan. Negara-negara maju yang sering mengampanyekan pembangunan berkelanjutan pun masih ‘maju-mundur’ dalam menerapkan inisiatif ini.

Berikut contoh-contohnya:

1. Jepang menghadirkan ‘solusi palsu’ untuk pensiun dini PLTU Batu Bara dengan mengembangkan teknologi co-firing serta penyimpan dan penangkap karbon (CCS).

2. Inggris menunda larangan penjualan mobil berbahan bakar fosil hingga 2030.

3. Sebagian besar masyarakat dan elite politik di Italia, Jerman, Polandia, dan Belanda turut menunjukkan resistansi terhadap kebijakan ramah lingkungan.

Contoh ini dipertegas dengan kajian Bank Dunia yang menyatakan belum ada negara yang bisa secara efektif mengurangi emisi karbonnya sembari tetap menjaga laju pertumbuhan ekonominya. Tidak berlebihan jika penulis dan jurnalis peraih Pulitzer asal Amerika Serikat, Elizabeth Kolbert, beranggapan manusia sedang memproses kepunahannya sendiri.

Oleh karena itu, kemunculan ekonomi restoratif harus menjadi perhatian bersama. Inisiatif ini perlu diutamakan oleh pemerintah dan sektor swasta, bukan hanya organisasi lingkungan. Hanya dengan komitmen dan tindakan nyata, kita bisa mencapai keseimbangan antara kemajuan ekonomi dan kelestarian lingkungan.
