Environmental issues have become global issues that must be addressed by all levels of society in a responsive and focused manner. Since the 1970s, the world community began to pay great attention to the problems of nature and the environment. The discourse on environmentally sound economic development is of particular concern in order to maintain the sustainability of life throughout the world, including the regions in Indonesia. To achieve environmentally sound development is not enough to only enhance economic development and forget about the sustainability of the ecosystem and social environment of the community, both must be mutually integrated until finally a strong national economic development is achieved in order to save the nation's future. This study aims to find out how the implementation of regional economic development in Indonesia has applied the principles of environmental economic development that is environmentally sound as an effort to build and save the future of the nation or just become a slogan on its journey. The type of research used in this study is descriptive using literature studies. The result is known that Indonesia has not been able to carry out the improvement of regional economic development with an environmental perspective. The development carried out in Indonesia since the 1970s still tends to focus on economic development, even on economic growth which tends to be shortterm orientation so that the problem of sustainability development has not become a top priority. For this reason, in the context of aspirational environmentally sound development, the implementation of development must rely on the principle of benefits and sustainability, community, justice, togetherness, openness, and integration.
