Abstract: This study employs a natural language processing (NLP) methodology to examine public sentiment toward green economy policies in Indonesia, utilizing data collected via direct surveys. Green economic policies, including carbon taxes and investments in renewable energy, are gaining significance in addressing environmental and economic concerns. Sentiment analysis and topic modeling are employed to discern trends in public opinion, encompassing positive, negative, and neutral sentiments regarding diverse policy elements. The research findings indicate that 79.34% of public answers endorse green economic initiatives, notably those associated with renewable energy investments and carbon emission reductions, whereas 20.66% exhibit a negative stance, primarily due to apprehensions regarding short-term economic effects. This study offers critical insights for policymakers to improve communication and execution tactics to bolster public support for green economy initiatives in Indonesia.
