ISSUES (1)
Indias performance on the MDG environment targets has varied
Overall Increase in the area under forest cover, but decrease in some states and
biodiversity protection
Has relatively low levels of pollution per capita or per dollar of GDP
Becoming one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases
Forests and biodiversity
Overall increase in forest cover, except some states
Forests have changed from multi-product and multi-layer to timber oriented, limiting
gathering of non timber forest products by forest-dependent communities
Focusing particularly on reversing the loss of multi-purpose trees from large
forested states and increasing gatherable biomass and non-timber forest products.
Greenhouse gas emissions
Increasing levels of carbon dioxide emissions per head
Gaps in access to sustainable energy and other basic infrastructure
ISSUES (2)
Climate change mitigation
Encouraging the use of LED lights
Emphasis on renewable energy by the Government as non-renewable resources are
depleting
Resilience to natural hazards
Needs to scale up its successes to confront all natural hazards including floods
which are occurring at increased frequency
Disaster management practices and large scale climate proofing of infrastructure
are needed
Inclusive and sustainable cities
Problem of sanitation still exists
Major environmental challenges due to rapid urbanization
Cities face environment related problems such as excessive congestion, unhygienic
conditions, poor waste disposal, and lack of green spaces for recreation
ISSUES (3)
Terrestrial and marine ecosystems conservation
Major problem is of pollution of inland rivers and waters
Depleting fresh water sources through melting of Himalayan glaciers and depleting
groundwater
Implementation issues
Sanitation facilities built but not utilized(Cultural Barrier)
Limit access to information and low awareness
Ecological and conservation schemes are met with resistance
Governments Role
Inadequate integration of sustainability into NDP
Policy incoherence and weak institutional environment
Ineffective Implementation practices
RECOMMENDATIONS
