Abstract The environmental crime has been resolved through the trials which aim to punish the perpetrators without considering the needs of the victims. The victims have been defined as humans only, whereas in the environmental crimes, victims are often the environment that does not have the ability to voice its own needs. It must be understood that the environment is not only for the current generation but also for future generations, this concept is referred to as intergenerational environmental justice. The research was conducted to answer questions regarding restorative justice in environmental crimes as an effort to achieve intergenerational environmental justice and restorative justice in environmental crimes in Indonesia. The research was conducted by using normative research method with the secondary data collected through the literature research then content analysis was conducted with the data interpretation and conclusion drawing. In this research, it is found that the environmental criminal offenses which are only focused on the settlement in the form of retaliation are not in accordance with the concept of intergenerational environmental justice which is part of sustainable development. If the settlement of criminal offenses is only focused on retaliation, the environment that is the victim will not get its right to be repaired. The right of the environment to be repaired as a result of environmental crimes can be given by making a conference between the victim, the perpetrator and the community to determine the actions which can be taken to make repairs. In addition, in Indonesia there is already a legal protection to carry out restorative justice but for the environmental crimes it can be done by making technical regulations for the implementation of the Law.
