The Impact Of International Environmental Agreements On National Policy

Abstract

In order to directly address climate change and wildlife protection, this study looks into how international environmental agreements (IEAs)have affected India's national policy framework. This paper is aimed at analysing different international environmental agreements and their impact on Indian environmental policy through the examples of the Kyoto Protocol, the Paris Agreement, and the Convention on Biological Diversity. India has integrated these international commitments into its national strategies, which include the National Action Plan on Climate Change and the National Wildlife Action Plan to combat greenhouse gas emissions and conserve wildlife. The paper also covers how IEAs ensure the availability of financial and technical resources, create new policies, and cause legislative changes. The paper also seeks to investigate India's opportunities and constraints in meeting its international commitments, as well as the issue of balancing the country's interests with international environmental standards. It envisions sustainable development that is also socially and technologically inclusive. India uses global accords to meet regional growth goals while also seeking long-term environmental resilience.
