Sustainable development is a necessity in a country like India.
Due to poverty, population pressure,
increasing pollution and consumption pattern India is facing environmental degradation. Health of
human being is equally proportional to the health of environment. The main challenge is to continue
economic degradation keeping harmony with the economic development.
Sustainable development defined by the United Nations goes by the concept of “development
that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to
meet their own needs”.
In other words “Environment is sum total of water, air and land interrelationships among
themselves and also with the human being, other living organisms and property”. It includes all
the physical and biological surroundings and their interactions. Environmental studies provide
an approach towards understanding the environment of our planet and the impact of human life
upon the environment. Thus the environment is actually global in nature, it is a multidisciplinary
subject including physics, geology, geography, history, economics, physiology, biotechnology,
remote sensing, geophysics, soil science and hydrology etc.
What is Environmental Sustainability?
The goal of environmental sustainability is to conserve natural resources and to develop
alternate sources of power by replanting forests, preserving wetlands and protecting natural
areas from resource harvesting. . The biggest criticism of environmental sustainability initiatives
is that their priorities can be at odds with the needs of a growing industrialized society, Man is
both the creator and shaper of the environment. Broadly speaking, technologies that change
human behavior can be divided into two categories: incentives and inhibitions. Law is
everywhere from education to peer, family pressure, morality. The law in society applies equally
to everyone at all times. This is the axiom of the “rule of law.”
Environmental laws emphasizes on regulatory laws, laws and regulations, regional and
international laws to protect the environment. “environmental law” is not only covering
government law. The heart of the discussion, the need for such regulations, the attractive
friction of government regulations and encouraging the carrier of the market, and making things
appropriate for all, and the attractive friction of all. For example, continuous discussions on the
effects of specific pesticides in agriculture, greenhouse gas emissions are avoiding recoil
legislation in the battle between science and full clay-mud government.
Laws relating to Sustainable development of environment and ecology:
Some environmental protection laws existed even before the independence of India. However,
the real push to implement a robust framework only emerged after the United Nations
Conference on the Human Environment (Stockholm, 1972). MoEF was established in 1985 and
is now the highest administrative body. MoEF and the Pollution Control Committee “CPCB”,
together constitute the core regulatory and administrative department.
Some of the important legislations for environmental protection are as follows:
1)The National Green Tribunal Act, 2010
2)The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981
3)The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974
4)The Environment Protection Act, 1986
5)The Hazardous Waste Management Regulations, etc.
WHY ARE ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS ARE IMPORTANT?
1) For Health of Current Generations
Medical care is an expensive business, regardless of where it is around the world. During the
oldest environmental protection in the world, it is designed to take into account human health.
Even today, people who live in the largest area tend to suffer more health problems. It is
important to clean environmental air, water, and other aspects to improve your health.
2)For Health of Future Generations
We do not have the good health system of the current generation that we should worry about.
Our children and their children, etc., sometimes have an increase in the costs of health, and
which leads to a larger case of some situations. We are also analyzing new adventive diseases
in areas where there have never been cases of existing but controlled, but controlled cases of
existing but controlled diseases. It is believed that some of the reasons are an ecological and
natural environment that promotes the replication of viruses or the seeds responsible for the
duplication of viruses and mosquitoes.
3)Maintaining Resources and Lifestyle
Many methods to maintain resources and lifestyle, environmental laws are a form of future
insurance contracts, such as food safety and water, the protection of resources, energy, and
ecological equilibrium. Fossil fuel is an exhausted resource, and many metals are finite but may
have a potential century. The rights of fishing are one of these problems. In many areas of the
world, not only can they harm our supply of food and industry, but can also be confused with the
ecological balance of the sea. That is why many countries agreed to fish quotas.
Hence, India needs to hustle towards the attainment of its sustainable development goals
through proper planning, coordination, and implementation of practices and policies which aid in
the formation and maintenance of a self-sustainable and developed country.
4) For Ecology
Food chains, water cycles, the security of our resources depends on what environment is
protected by any environment. Exhaustion and elimination of resources, such as the
introduction of invasive species, maintaining damage emissions, etc., and environments can
cause long-term problems. We have already raised the depletion of the ice cover and the
maritime levels. The dilution of our sea salt can affect the ecological balance of the sea.
Conclusion:
The goal of environmental sustainability is to conserve natural resources and to develop
alternate sources of power while reducing pollution and harm to the environment. The
Environmental Law, or known as methods of environmental and natural resources, explains the
regulatory laws, laws and regulations, regional and international laws, protect the environment
from harming and explain the legal impact of such damage to the government, is a term Used to
explain the treaty. In the way we are looking at it, environmental law affects the importance of
saving individual health, commercial activities, geographical sustainability, geographical
sustainability, and future generations and economies.
