<br/><br/> This paper is written in a doctrinal approach focusing on the theoretical analysis based on the secondary data keeping in mind the legal aspects. Sustainable development is a buzz word. Achieving it within the legal frame work without degrading environment is the goal of many nations including India. Sec 2(a) The Environment (Protection) Act 1986, defines – “Environment includes water, air and land and the inter-relationship, which exists among and between water, air and land and human beings, other living creatures, plants, micro-organism and property. The problem of environmental pollution is a global issue. It is as old as the evolution of Homo sapiens on this planet. Population explosion, poverty, industrialization, over exploitation of non-renewable resources, advancement of science and technology etc are some of the factors, which contribute environmental degradation. In international law, a depletion of the earth’s resources through pollution that transcends territorial boundaries. Global warming creating desertification and the slow destruction of ice at the poles would be obvious examples (Oxford dictionary of law) 7th edition.- Reproduced <br/><br/><br/>https://sajospsglobal.com/current.html<br/>
