The events for the 78th Anniversary of the Faculty of Law was officially opened by Adrianto Dwi Nugroho, S.H., Adv.LLM., LL.D., Vice Dean for Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, and Cooperation.
In her lecture, Nyai Nisya discussed the concept of the natural environment as presented in the Quran specifically, the idea of nature as the space in which human life unfolds. This carries with it a profound responsibility: human beings are obligated to preserve the balance of nature and prevent its destruction. As God's stewards on earth (khalifah), humans are not permitted to cause harm; rather, they are called to build a life that is peaceful and beneficial to all. Placing ecological discourse within the teachings of Islam and everyday human life, she argued, can serve as a driver of sustainable development.
