520 _aKerala’s From Forest to Sea: People’s Environmental Charter (2026), prepared by a coalition of environmental groups, is one of the most substantive environmental policy frameworks produced by civil society in the state in recent years. Ecological degradation is no longer presented only as biodiversity loss but as a driver of rising public costs. There is a shift from a conservation frame to a climate-resilience frame, thereby connecting ecological protection to outcomes that governments and planners already care about: water security, flood reduction, agricultural productivity and infrastructure durability. The Charter creates an important foundation for ecological governance in Kerala while identifying the harder work that remains.-Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2026/13/commentary/walking-razors-edge.html
