Our Environment Lawyers In Chandigarh Are Well-Versed With Indian Environment Laws

While working toward the common future of the world as a whole the modern environmental laws originate from a set of principles promulgated ever since 1987 by the World Commission on Environment and Development and further strengthened in 1992 at the Earth Summit’s Rio Declaration. The same can be observed in The Indian Constitution where it has cast a duty upon every State to protect and endeavour to improve the environment and safeguard its forest reserve and wildlife and at the same time it also becomes imperative for the citizens to ensure that they do the same.

Principles of Environmental law

1. The Precautionary Principle

The precautionary principle requires that, if there is a strong speculation or suspicion that a certain activity might harm or deteriorate the environment and such consequences if not controlled may have adverse effects over the environment then in those circumstances it is better to control, modulate such activity beforehand than to leave an impact on the environment which is beyond repair.

2. The Prevention Principle

With this Principle, it is ensured that every environment affecting or impacting act should have integrated environmental consideration, i.e. development and environment should work hand in hand.

3. The Polluter Pays Principle

In environmental law, the polluter pays principle is one of the modern concepts of environmental law which was coined to make the human race take the responsibility of their acts being done towards the environment. The principle was enacted to make the party responsible for producing pollution responsible for paying back to the environment for the damage done to the natural environment.

4. The Integration Principle

With this Principle it is ensured that every environment affecting or impacting act should have integrated environmental consideration, i.e. development and environment should work hand in hand.

5. The Public Participation Principle

Decisions about environmental protection must integrate the views of the public. According to this principle, it becomes all the more important that every government decision should be guided and formulated considering the public views and opinion, i.e. the policy-making should have a bottom to top approach not the top to bottom.

6. The Sustainable Development Principle

Sustainable development means that every approach of the human race should be such that it is able to meet the needs of the current generation without compromising the needs and ability of the future generation to make use of the environment.
