Abstract

There are a growing number of environmental issues in Indonesia and throughout the globe, and a solution must be found
promptly. Environmental issues are gaining growing public attention. This is seen by the growing number of public talks
around this issue. The sustainability of human existence on earth will be in jeopardy if a solution to these environmental
concerns is not developed. Countries are also becoming more engaged in developing international accords and rules to
address different current concerns. The data analysis method employs a systems approach using the Interpretive Structural
Modeling (ISM) technique, while the graph depicts an examination of the driving force and amount of dependency to
finish the study. The sustainability of human existence on Earth will be threatened if solutions to these environmental
concerns are not discovered. This is because nature provides all the necessities for human existence, including air, water,
food, medicine, aesthetics, and so on. Natural destruction is equivalent to the carrying capacity for human existence.
Conclusion Pollution or environmental pollution is the primary environmental issue. It takes billions of years for air,
water, and soil to recover to their natural state after contamination. Changes in climate or global warming. Human
activities, such as the generation of greenhouse gases, cause climate change such as global warming. Overpopulation. The
population of the globe has reached unsustainable levels due to a lack of resources such as water, fuel, and food. Population
growth in both rich and developing nations continues to exacerbate resource constraints.
