Role Of Government And Civil Society: A Critical Assessment Of Efforts Towards Saving Environmental Degradation In The Coastal Region Of India

Abstract

The paper will review environmental degradation in India's coastal regions, alongside the role played by the government in the execution of the projects that led to the degradation. The impactful case studies in India, along with those from UNEP, provide us with the learning that severe environmental crises can be effectively addressed through civil society intervention and local administration participation. The idea of Sustainable Development has become a challenge in itself. There is a need for intervention by political representatives to value the natural resources, take examples, and make policy decisions.
