In the issue of climate change, the climate justice aspects laid down in international and national regulations are interesting topics that have been widely studied nowadays. In the international context, the dichotomy of developed and developing countries often becomes the basis for determining the principles of climate justice. Ironically, while many developing countries fight for their rights to obtain better climate conditions through the mechanism of regulation and negotiation process, some people in developing countries precisely become free riders for climate quota in their own countries.

As an example, it can be seen in the existence of traditional community in Bali. This paper hence attempts to elaborate the local values in the activities of Balinese people, mainly in concerning to their belief and tradition in protecting the environment.
