Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Development of Environmental Laws in India highlights the dynamic nature of environmental law-making in India between the judiciary, the executive and the parliament. This has led to the creation of a wide range of environmental institutions and bodies with varied roles and responsibilities. The book contains a large volume of materials from the late 1990s, which show a marked shift in the nature of environmental governance in India. These materials offer an understanding of the contemporary debates in environment law in the context of India's economic liberalisation. The materials are thematically organized and presented in an accessible manner. The chapters contain definitions and specific clauses from the legal instruments and refer to court orders and judgements on these themes.

This volume also covers air and water pollution, forests, wildlife, noise pollution, common property resources and tribal communities, environmental impact assessment, coastal regulations, large projects, urban problems, the National Green Tribunal, hazardous substances, transnational environmental policies, and international environment law. It is interlaced with notes, comments, and questions intended to encourage critical thinking amongst lawyers and law students.

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.

A general introduction covers geographic considerations, political, social and cultural aspects of environmental study, the sources and principles of environmental law, environmental legislation, and the role of public authorities. The main body of the book deals first with laws aimed directly at protecting the environment from pollution in specific areas such as air, water, waste, soil, noise, and radiation. Then, a section on nature and conservation management covers protection of natural and cultural resources such as monuments, landscapes, parks and reserves, wildlife, agriculture, forests, fish, subsoil, and minerals. Further treatment includes the application of zoning and land-use planning, rules on liability, and administrative and judicial remedies to environmental issues. There is also an analysis of the impact of international and regional legislation and treaties on environmental regulation. Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable resource for environmental lawyers handling cases affecting India. Academics and researchers, as well as business investors and the various international organizations in the field, will welcome this very useful guide, and will appreciate its value in the study of comparative environmental law and policy.
