description This paper examines the move from anthropocentric to ecofeminist viewpoints in environmental policy and how this shift might be incorporated into a Pancasila-based solution to global environmental concerns. Anthropocentrism is the view that humans are the most powerful and valuable beings on the planet and that the natural world exists primarily for human benefit. This perspective has long dominated environmental policy, with laws and practices centred on exploiting natural resources for human consumption and economic gain. Ecofeminism, on the other hand, is a viewpoint that acknowledges the interdependence of all living things and the significance of safeguarding the environment for all life, not just human life. This viewpoint emphasises the significance of appreciating and safeguarding the natural world and acknowledging human actions’ impact on the environment. The paper suggests that a transition from anthropocentric to ecofeminist approaches in environmental policy is vital to meet the current global environmental concerns. Incorporating a Pancasila-based strategy, which is the philosophical underpinning of the Indonesian state and stresses the importance of unity, justice, and social welfare can give a framework for a holistic and sustainable approach to environmental policy, according to the findings of the study. The study implies that a Pancasila-based approach to environmental policy would emphasise the conservation of the natural environment and the well-being of all living things over economic growth and human profit alone. This strategy would also recognise the importance of indigenous knowledge and practises in environmental management and conservation. The study also emphasises the significance of including women and marginalised communities in environmental policy decision-making, as these groups are disproportionately affected by environmental degradation and have unique perspectives and experiences to contribute.
