Abstract 
The right to access clean water is a fundamental human right and
an important part of SDGs. Indonesia as a country committed to
developing SDGs-compliant policies to respond to climate
challenges need to make sure that it has enough normative support
from its legal framework. Using normative legal research method,
this study analyzes the emerging legal problems regarding the
Indonesian government’s responsibility to provide clean water to
its citizens. To support the analysis, this study employs the
statutory approach to find the normative problems contributing to
a number of possible legal problems that might hinder Indonesia’s
commitment to SDGs, particularly the one to make sure that every
person has the right to access clean water. Analysis of this research
finds that there are normative confusions within the Indonesian
legal framework that are related to the government’s responsibility
in providing access to clean water, along with the urgency to tackle
to these normative issues to better deal with the emerging legal
problems, in the face of climate change.
