Environmental Federalism and Practice in India: An Overview
Journal Title: International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Invention - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Environmental Federalism refers to the decentralization of policy decisions on environmental issues to local regions with greater autonomy in theory and practice. It is the proper devolution of roles to the various levels of government aiming at both fiscal decentralization and environmental management at the local levels. Thus environmental federalism means environmental decentralization at all levels of government for an overall environmental management in a country. National and local governments participate in environmental management ona mutually agreed common agenda in protection and preservation of environmentfor sustainable development at national and local levels. Thus a distributed responsibility on environmental governance spanning across multiple levels of government, vertically and horizontally under a federal government structure can be called as environmental federalism in its true sense of the term. Laws and policies on environment in various countries including India stem from acentralized overtone and never decentralized to the extent it benefits the grassroots.Hence it becomes necessary to study the extent of environmental federalism in countries such as India where there is a growing concern on environmental issues.
