Indonesia is the most populous and had the highest absolute environmental impact along with Brazil, China, and India. The paper is a normative legal research, reviewing the right to a good and healthy environment as constitutional rights. The results show that the constitutionalizing of the principle of human rights to a good and healthy environment as fundamental rights on the philosophical, political, and legal dimensions is a necessity for a modern State. It will not be comprehensive to realize a universal environmental when it is not implemented by these three dimensions. In this context, the findings of research are reconstructed by a modern constitution based and oriented towards a universal environmental order.
