Download or read book Environmental Law and Policy written by Dr. Veerabhadraiah C and published by Academic Guru Publishing House. This book was released on 2023-04-07 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term "environmental law" refers to the complex system of legislation, common law, treaties, convention, regulations, and policies that aim to safeguard areas of nature that may be negatively influenced by human activities. Some environmental laws establish maximum allowable levels of pollution or require permits for the potentially harmful activities, thereby regulating the quantity and nature of impacts resulting from human activities. There are also preventative environmental rules that aim to evaluate potential consequences of human activities before they are implemented. In the majority of industrial economies, environmental law asan independent structure emerged in the 1960s. It's rapidly becoming into a significant area of law. Its tenets are starting to become more transparent. While environmental law's questions are substantive, their solutions tend to be more procedural. Sustainable development advocates have increasingly looked to environmental legislation as a key tool in recent years. Many changes to environmental law have been motivated by precautionary principle, public participation, environmental justice, as well as the polluter-pays principle. All of the key environmental accords are discussed in detail, including their organizational framework, primary legislative provisions, and day-to-day operations. Rights of humanity, humanitarian law, and transnational corporations are only some of the topics covered, and the book skillfully combines legal as well as policy analysis with numerous citations from precedents and academic literature.

We then summarize the main laws that are available to protect the environment. These laws cover different aspects of the environment such as wildlife, pollution control, forest cover and waste management. Taken together, these laws present a comprehensive system to protect and preserve the biodiversity and environmental resources connected with the air, water and soil of India.

Download or read book Water Pollution and Abatement Policy in India written by Debesh Chakraborty and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-07 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India has been traditionally well-endowed with large freshwater reserves, but increasing population, urbanization and agricultural growth in recent decades are causing overexploitation of surface and groundwater. As consumption of water grows, wastewater increases significantly and in the absence of proper measures for treatment and management, is polluting existing freshwater reserves. As a result, water pollution has emerged as one of the nation’s gravest environmental threats. This book draws a link between water pollution generated by different industries and the various economic activities of the Indian economy using the Input-output framework. It constructs a detailed water pollution coefficient matrix involving different types of water pollutants. The book estimates the total amount of water pollution generated directly and indirectly in different sectors and activities, and also calculates the water pollution content in India’s foreign trade sector. It also accounts for defensive expenditure from water pollution and estimates Green GDP for the extent and scope of environmental challenges. Analysis of the result indicates the variation in the pollution content of different economic activities. Finally, the book offers a portfolio of policies and assesses the implications of such policies on pollution generation in India.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book systematically introduces historical trajectories and dynamics of environmental policy and governance in India. Following the features of environmental policy in India as outlined in Chapter 1, subsequent chapters explore domestic and international factors that shape environmental policy in the country. The chapters examine the interplay between governmental and non-governmental actors, and the influence of social mobilisation and institutions on environmental policy and governance. Analysing various policy trajectories, the chapters identify and explore five central environmental policy subsystems: forests, water, climate, energy and city development. The authors drill down into the social, economic, political and ecological dimensions of each system, shedding light on why striking a balance between national economic growth and environmental sustainability is so challenging. Drawing on political science theories of policy processes and related theoretical concepts, this innovative edited volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental policy and politics and South Asian studies more broadly.
