Environment Protection and the Law

South Asia, home to a quarter of the world's population, stands at the forefront of environmental and climate crises. Here, poverty, caste, and class intensify the impact of environmental degradation, creating a starkly
unequal burden. Despite active participation in global environmental policy - from the Stockholm Declaration to the Rio Declaration - the region's environmental challenges have only deepened. This groundbreaking book gathers insights from young South Asian scholars who tackle these issues through lived experiences, policy analysis, and legal perspectives. From wildlife trade and climate education to decarbonization and groundwater management, the topics covered provide an in-depth look at the urgent need for regional and national solutions to complement global efforts.
