About the Conference
The environment is understood differently by different people around the world. The viability of the environment was conserved by many means throughout history. Codified laws protected nature and individuals of the society, but the development paved the way to endanger nature at maximum.
The ideology of the environment is to develop a sustained nature. The conventions at the international level made it obligatory for all the nations to take necessary steps to balance nature. Similarly, the nations stressed upon individuals to look for a solution to conserve the tainted environment.
The issue of Environmental protection has been widely discussed at various levels from international to domestic because of utmost urgency but still reached the maximum danger to the environment.
Owing to various human-made activities, the situation is under dire threat. The damage is tremendous and reached a question of restoration. However much we try, we cannot undo the destruction that has already been inflicted.
Thus, the only way out is to take valuable steps to conserve and restore the environment. Law has the potential to bring and power to drive change the degraded environment into its original shape.
This conference aims to discuss various existing legal and societal frameworks for the protection of the
environment and restore the same. Further discusses any deficiencies in the legal and other disciplne and explores how to tackle those challenges in a better way.
