This book focuses on administrative regulation in environmental law. It also focuses on climate change, and the push for sustainability.

Covering the regulation on forest conservation, wildlife protection, water pollution, air pollution, and noise pollution, the book looks into the practical application of environmental legislation. This includes responses to international environmental agreements within India and the economic impact. It also discusses historical jurisprudence, and the administrative frameworks existing as a result of this.

Focusing on contemporary issues within the legal landscape, the book aims to provide a solid foundation for researchers, legal practitioners, and scholars in the field of environmental law and policymaking.
