Environmental Law in India – WCEL Environmental Law Lectures

This video offers a comprehensive look at India’s environmental legal framework and highlights the role of the National Green Tribunal (NGT) in delivering timely, expert-led environmental justice. Rooted in both constitutional mandates and cultural reverence for nature, India’s approach blends ancient ecological values with modern legal tools. The NGT enforces key principles, such as sustainable development, polluter pays, and precaution, while also adjudicating complex cases and promoting broad stakeholder participation. Its science-informed structure and strict liability standards enable effective regulation, which makes it a model for environmentally responsible governance.
