Introduction Worldwide, 9 out of 10 people breathe polluted air. Air pollution is among the greatest threats to human health. About 29% of lung cancer deaths and diseases, 43% of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease fatalities, and 25% of heart disease and stroke deaths are attributed to ambient air pollution. According to the 2017 Global Burden of Disease report, 1.24 million fatalities are attributable to air pollution. Air pollution has become a serious issue today. Owing

Introduction The cornerstone of regenerative agriculture is that it not only "does no harm" to the land, but actually improves it through the use of technology that restore and rejuvenate the soil and the ecosystem. Regenerative agriculture produces healthy soil that is capable of producing high-quality, nutrient-dense food while simultaneously enhancing, as opposed to deteriorating, land, and ultimately leading to productive farms, healthy communities, and robust economies.

Introduction The practise of burning crop residue, particularly in North India, is a major contributor to air pollution. A major challenge is persuading farmers to abandon the practise by providing alternative methods of disposal through economically productive use of crop residues. Pollution control efforts are hampered by a lack of awareness of the negative effects of pollution. This makes it difficult to effect the necessary behavioural change in order to combat pollution

Introduction The Swachh Bharat Mission (SBM) was launched to Increase the emphasis on hygiene and achieve universal sanitation throughout the country. The mission's first phase was implemented as a nationwide campaign from 2014 to 2019, with the goal of eliminating open defecation in rural areas through mass-scale behaviour change, the construction of household-owned and community-owned toilets, and the implementation of techniques for monitoring toilet construction and usage

Introduction The rapid growth of our cities, as well as the evolution of our production methods, have had a significant impact on how the urban world has evolved. It is estimated that by 2050, 66 percent of the global population will be living in cities, up from 54 percent now (UNEP, 2018). This means that 2.4 billion people could be added to the world's urban population. The growing popularity of the dispersed city model in the twentieth century not only contrasted sharply w

Introduction Biogas is a renewable and environmentally benign energy source. It is produced anaerobically, when organic matter, such as food or animal waste, is broken down by microbes in the absence of oxygen. To accomplish this, the waste material must be enclosed in an atmosphere devoid of oxygen. Biogas can be produced either organically or through an industrial process for use as a fuel. Working of Biogas Plant The mixing tank is where the biomass and water are mixed tog

Introduction Acharya Vinoba Bhave had been seeing the disintegration of India's economy, the precarious status of the country's agriculture, and the cruel and horrific poverty of the landless millions during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Vinoba had harnessed the prodigious movement of Bhoodan intending to develop a shift in man's moral and spiritual perspectives via large-scale and widespread societal realisation of the socio-economic ideals of human life. The concept of Bh

Introduction Following the completion of the United Nations Conference on Human Environment in Stockholm in 1972, researchers paid close attention to environmental problems. By the 1980s, the "green movement" had become a global phenomenon, embraced by many nations throughout the globe, including India. These movements are concerned with issues such as tribal’s right to retain their indigenous traditional knowledge and livelihood, environmental protection, and the preservatio

Introduction Human rights are rights that all humans possess, regardless of race, gender, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or another status. Human rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of speech and expression, the right to work and education, and many more. Everyone, without exception, is entitled to these rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a watershed moment in human rights history. The D

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a tool as explained by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is used to determine the environmental, social, and economic implications of a project prior to making a decision. Its goal is to predict environmental impacts early in the project planning and design process, develop strategies to mitigate negative effects, tailor projects to the local environment, and provide predictions and options to decision-makers. EIA is defi

What is National Green Tribunal?

In its most literal sense, the term "environment" refers to "surroundings" (environs). An individual's, object's, element's, or system's environment includes all other things with whom it interacts. Individuals, things, elements, and systems rarely exist in isolation; instead, they interact with their environment to varying degrees. The environment, therefore, encompasses everything that surrounds or affects an organism during the course of its life. The term "environment"
