Environmental Law & Sustainable Policy

Environmental Law & Sustainable Policy provides a detailed, structured, and interdisciplinary approach to the study of environmental law with an emphasis on sustainability. Designed for law students, environmental science scholars, policymakers, and practitioners, this book serves as a core academic resource that bridges domestic legal frameworks with global environmental governance. The book is divided into eight chapters, beginning with an introduction to the concept, scope, and evolution of environmental law. It proceeds to examine policy-making at national and international levels, the legal framework in India, key global agreements, and the growing recognition of environmental rights and duties. Special focus is given to regulatory mechanisms such as Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA), licensing, compliance, and the role of public institutions in enforcement. Chapters also cover sustainable development, legal tools for promoting sustainability, corporate environmental responsibility, and emerging issues like climate change, biodiversity loss, and urban environmental challenges.....
